| book description |

Three devastating epidemics swept Egypt in the 1940â€™s killing more people than all the wars Egypt has fought in the twentieth century. Egyptâ€™s Other Wars vividly reconstructs the nationâ€™s struggle against malaria, relapsing fever, and cholera and explores the unique combination of forces that put public health at the top of the national political agenda. Egypt in the 1940â€™s as in the throes of a nationalist upheaval. Nationalists of all political ideologies attributed the sever epidemics that the country was experiencing to Egyptâ€™s status as an underdeveloped and colonized nation. The epidemics were therefore viewed for the first time as not only a public health crisis but also a political problem that called for a political solution.
