An Arab view of a turning point in modern history. This chronicle is a combination of historical narration and reflection combined with daily observations about the atmosphere in Cairo and the mood among the locals. The French view provides a stinging critique of French preoccupation with Egypt and the resulting cultural 'Orientalism.'
