Egypt: Essential Academic History Book Banned

The Egyptian authorities have banned the import of A History of the Modern Middle East by eminent academics William L Cleveland and Martin Bunton without giving reasons for the ban. On Twitter, @Milllyz reacts: “Now that they have banned William L. Cleveland's “A History of the Modern Middle East”, all I want to do is read it. #CensorshipGoToHell”

    History books written by zionists, neocons or others not eminent to Egypt should be banned. Western historians tell us occupying Muslim lands and killing its people is libration. They refer the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and the establishment of apparathied state as middle east conflict.
