Following the riots in Tunisia a few weeks ago, the world has watched as crowds of Egyptians protest against their own government, demanding an end to the 30-year rule of President Hosni Mubarak.
Listed below are a number of e-books, articles, and government documents providing valuable background information on the crisis in Egypt. Images from the demonstrations, taken by Associated Press photographers, are also available in the AP Images database within its “International News” category.
