Book: “Soldiers, Spies and Statesmen: Egypt’s Road to Revolt” by Hazem Kandil

I am looking forward to reading this book: 
Hazem Kandil’s “Soldiers, Spies and Statesmen: Egypt’s Road to Revolt” 


"Today, Egypt has the highest per-capita security personnel in the world. There are 25 security personnel to 1000 civilians; 2.5 percent of the society works in security. At its height, the KGB in Russia did not employ more than 150,000 servicemen. Egypt in 2012 had about 2 million."

Quoted from this Egypt Independent article.
