He slept in his car. Parked in a different neighborhood every night. Swapped out phones. Changed routes. Took meetings with factory workers in El Mahalla. Called on the urban poor
of Cairo. Learned from Serbs who had toppled a dictator how to map a power structure, find its fault lines, and move a population to seize the levers of power. Ahmed Maher spent years building something his government didn't see coming.
Going Behind the Sun is the story of the Egyptian revolution from the inside: the years of learning and preparation, the new technologies turned into instruments of mass mobilization, the coalitions forged and the betrayals that followed, the secret negotiations while a dictatorship assessed how seriously to take them. And then eighteen days in Tahrir Square.
Maher writes the full story. What victory cost when the authorities who replaced the old regime moved to criminalize the very methods that had ended the Mubarak regime. What it takes to hold a vision of a free Egypt when the state has decided you are an enemy.
