Description
Cairo in the War 1939-45 by Artemis Cooper is a historical account of Egypt during World War II. The city was a hub of activity, with different groups experiencing it in vastly different ways. For some, Cairo represented luxury and excess, while for others it was a place of refuge or resistance. The British Ambassador's attempts to influence the Egyptian government were a significant factor in the country's involvement in the war. Meanwhile, within the Egyptian Army, a group of young officers began to question authority and challenge the status quo. As the war raged on, Cairo continued to thrive, despite the threat of invasion from Rommel's forces. This book provides a unique perspective on Egypt during this period, exploring the complex web of politics, culture, and society that defined the city.
