The West remains largely clueless about the true nature of the Muslim Brotherhood. In her tour de force of scholarly sleuthing, Cynthia Farahat not only reveals its not-so-hidden agenda and principles, but also unveils the hidden agenda and the clandestine Secret Apparatus of violence that is at its beating heart. For disclosing the deceit at the core of the Ikwhan, Ms. Farahat should earn the gratitude of those in the West who are at least willing to look at the frightening evidence she has so carefully compiled, if for no other reason than their own self-survival. If those last words seem hyperbolic, they won’t after you read what Secret Apparatus members say about themselves and what their plans are for you.
Henry Kopel
"In The Secret Apparatus, Cynthia Farahat names names, maps connections, and compellingly exposes both the vast reach and the singular purpose of the Muslim Brotherhood— namely, to lay the groundwork and prepare the jihadist foot soldiers to achieve the Brotherhood's unchanging ultimate goal: a world-conquering, Sharia-enforcing global caliphate. Her book thoroughly refutes the all-too-frequent claims from Western foreign policy salons that the Muslim Brotherhood has renounced terrorism and can be a partner for peace. It has not, it cannot, and we are all in Cynthia Farahat's debt for so thoroughly and definitively documenting those hard yet vitally important realities."
Steven Emerson
"Cynthia Farahat has produced what has to be considered the definitive investigation into the true aims, agenda, and operations of the Muslim Brotherhood. For years now, the MB has been protected by a coterie of Islamists, apologists, Western academics, and journalists who have asiduously sought to portray the MB as a democratic movement, which has long ago given up violence and terrorism. As Ms. Farahat has shown in her phenomenal research, nothing could be further from the truth. Ms. Farahat has delved not into secondary sources but primary ones in writing a book that is one of the most factual accounts of the MB that we now have. If you have any interest in the Middle East or in Islamist politics, Ms. Farahat's book is not optional reading; it is mandatory. Its narrative is mesmerizing. This is a book you definitely want to read."
Sarah N. Stern
"Cynthia Farahat's fascinating book on the Muslim Brotherhood— whose power has not descended at all, over the years, is required reading for anyone who wants to understand their amazing grip on power and their motivations and methods. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to protect democracy and Western civilization."

A unique fountain of knowledge.
