Burj al-Qāhirah: awwal muhimmah qawmīyah lil-mukhābarāt al-ʻāmmah al-Miṣrīyah

The book is acknowledged for its acceptable discussion of the intelligence aspects surrounding the construction of the Cairo Tower. It particularly focuses on a specific historical incident involving a financial offer from the United States and its connection to the tower's funding. This targeted approach is noted as a strong point of the book.

However, the reviewer expresses disappointment, expecting more depth from the subject matter. A significant criticism is directed at the presence of numerous rhetorical sentences that lack substantial informational value, giving the impression of a literary piece or an extended essay filled with excessive pride to simply fill pages. The book is also considered too brief and overly concentrated on a single event, with other relevant aspects of the topic only touched upon superficially.

Ultimately, while considered a good book, the reviewer suggests it would have been more effective as a single chapter within a broader work dedicated to the Cairo Tower, rather than a standalone publication. This book would likely appeal to readers specifically interested in the particular intelligence incident it covers and who appreciate a more literary or narrative style, rather than those seeking an exhaustive or comprehensive historical analysis of the tower's construction.
