Hazem Kandil is University Lecturer in Political Sociology and Fellow of St. Catherine's College, Cambridge.
By probing what it means to be a Muslim Brother, exploring how the Brotherhood organization is structured, and placing religion at the center of the movement's amorphous ideology, Hazem Kandil offers helpful new interpretations even when going over familiar ground. The resulting picture is not always flattering, but it helps shed light on the group's sometimes puzzling behavior. Nathan Brown, George Washington University
