Synopsis

Since its first publication in 1969, this book continues to be routinely cited as the standard source for the history of the revivalist Egyptian movement, the Muslim Brethren, up to the time of Nasser. This classic work is now accessible to a new generation of scholars and students interested in the Muslim revival. Professor John Voll of the University of New Hampshire, a leading scholar of Islam in the English speaking world, contributes a Foreword to the paperback edition.

MEDIA REVIEWS

"The Society of Muslim Brothers" is a major seminal work that remains the standard history of the early Muslim Brother-hood. Essential reading for understanding the growth of contemporary Islamic movements across the Muslim world." John Esposito, College of the Holy Cross

Richard Mitchell's book was one of the first serious studies of what it is now customary to call the "resurgence of Islam" and it still remains one of the best. - Albert Hourani
