The Road to Tahrir

The Egyptian Revolution: A Graphic Story of a Nation's Struggle Attaining their Democracy & Freedom

 

"As the 25 January Revolution got under way and grew from strength to strength, six young Egyptian photographers found themselves following and documenting the events in different parts of Cairo, and converging - as the demonstrations converged - on what became the focal point of the revolution, Tahrir Square. Between them, they photographed many of the unprecedented and startling events around the city and in the square, from the early battles of the protests against heavily armed security forces, through the attacks by paid thugs on camel and horseback, and the peaceful occupation of Tahrir Square, to the victory celebrations and the inspiring clean-up afterwards. Together in this stunning visual record they present the days of the revolution in sequence, from tear gas to tears of joy, picturing the story of determination and courage that inspired the world."

The six photographers are all young Egyptian students and professionals.

This is the first photo book that has been published on behalf of the Egyptian Revolution. It's detailed in chronological order, the 1st part documents events from the 25th of January till the 19th of March, 2011. A sequel is currently under progress. Both books deserve to be on your coffee table and in everyone's  Library, so be sure to order your copy today. They are selling out fast: The Road to Tahrir
