Since the history of the founding grandfather, who presented a unique experience in social ascension and political influence, passing through distinguished politicians and representatives, then the generation of the July Revolution and its most important symbols, Zakaria Mohieddin and Khaled Mohieddin, then the veteran politician Fouad Mohieddin, all the way to the international economist Mahmoud Mohieddin; The imprints of this family remained clear on all civil state institutions, which is what this book attempts to read in a new narrative that explores the forgotten and marginalized in Egyptian history.
