Drawing on anecdotes and first-hand accounts, this book presents the history of censorship in Islamic societies. It also studies the question of freedom of expression and analyses the political direction and control of such freedoms in a number of countries, including Iran, Egypt, Sudan, Algeria and Afghanistan.

Egypt's Belle Epoque was a period of extravagance during which the Khedive Ismail's Cairo became the mirror image, both architecturally and socially, of decadent Paris. The glamour and hedonism of the era reached its peak during the magnificent celebrations for the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869. This book discusses this period.
