From the back cover:
First pub­lished in 1969 as part of a series edited by renowned Islamic scholar Albert Hourani, this book has been the stan­dard source for the his­tory of the revival­ist Egypt­ian movement—the Mus­lim Brethren up to the time of Nasser. The Mus­lim Brethren are now well-recognized for their foun­da­tional role in the Islamic revival which has now taken on new, and per­haps dan­ger­ous, life in recent times. After hav­ing been out of print for over a decade, this reis­sue of the clas­sic work makes it acces­si­ble to a new gen­er­a­tion of schol­ars and stu­dents inter­ested in the Mus­lim revival–a group whose num­bers have increased dra­mat­i­cally in the past decade. The new paper­back edi­tion has a fore­word by John Voll, a lead­ing Amer­i­can Islamic scholar, dis­cussing the sub­se­quent his­tory and con­tin­ued sig­nif­i­cance of the Mus­lim Brethren.

The late Richard P. Mitchell was Pro­fes­sor of Near East­ern His­tory at the Uni­ver­sity of Michi­gan at Ann Arbor.
