Vertigo Book, Ahmed Mourad
By day, I shot my boss Hosni Mubarak. By night, I dreamt of dictator's downfall
Ahmed Mourad was Hosni Mubarak's personal photographer right up until his overthrow. But he also wrote a thriller about Egypt's corruption that became a bestseller. As the book, Vertigo, is published in English, he talks about the anger that drove him to write it and his hopes for the country's futureMark Seacombe The Observer, Sunday 13 November 2011

Every day, Ahmed Mourad quietly seethed as he peered through a lens darkly at Hosni Mubarak and reflected on the misery that his boss – the man he knew as "Mr President" – was inflicting on Egypt's 80 million people.

«بالنهار ألتقط الصور للرئيس السابق حسنى مبارك، وفى المساء أسمع أصدقائى يلعنونه»، هكذا وصف المصور الشخصى للرئيس المخلوع أحمد مراد حياته، فى مقابلة مع صحيفة الأوبزرفر البريطانية.
وتابع مراد: «كنت أعيش حياة مزدوجة، حتى صرت جاهزا للانفجار»، مضيفا «ما كان يحزننى حقا هو أننى كنت أعرف أن المصريين كانوا ينتظرون حياة أفضل وكان هو سبب منع حلمهم».
