John R. Bradley (born 6 June 1970[1]) is a British author and journalist who has written on Middle East issues for numerous publications, including The Economist, The Forward, Newsweek, The New Republic, The Daily Telegraph, Prospect and The Independent.
Beginning in early 2011 he was a regular contributor to The Daily Mail, The Spectator,[2] where he highlighted Islamist trends in the Arab Spring.
[7] Bradley is best known for his 2008 book Inside Egypt which accurately predicted the Egyptian uprising of January 2011 that ousted president Hosni Mubarak.
In May 2011, Fareed Zakaria selected Inside Egypt as his "Book of the Week" on his GPS show: “(This) book… in a strikingly prescient way… foretold the January revolution.
The book received considerable praise: a review in the New York Times, for example, stated that it provides "a highly informed, temperate and understanding account" of the country.
