▲Bradley is best known for his 2008 book '''Inside Egypt: The Land of the Pharaohs on the Brink of a Revolution''' (New York: Palgrave Macmillan). It was banned by the Egyptian regime on publication and accurately predicted the Egyptian uprising of January 2011 that ousted dictator Hosni Mubarak. In May 2011, Fareed Zakaria selected ''Inside Egypt'' as his '''Book of the Week''' on his GPS show that airs on [[CNN]], explaining: “(This) book… in a strikingly prescient way… foretold the January revolution. (It) was banned by Mubarak’s regime — and understandably so! If you want to understand how Egypt got to this crossroads, read this book.”<ref>[http://globalpublicsquare.blogs.cnn.com/2011/05/23/book-of-the-week-banned-by-mubarak-regime/ CNN World.
