About this deal

In early 2011 a popular uprising against Gaddafi, a dictator nicknamed 'Mad Dog' by Ronald Reagan, finally looks as if he might be toppled from power, as the wind of change blows through North Africa and the Middle East.

However, more than the first half of the book gives a history of the country from pre Roman times and there onward. The book is made up of 179 pages – but much to my surprise Gaddafi’s chronological antecedence as a child and young man continue (after Libya’s history) to page 125 – leaving little room for the period of September 1969 and onward - for which Gaddafi is ultimately renowned.

Haftar appears to have come from nowhere, controlling the Libyan tribes and gaining international support. Seller has stated it will dispatch the item within 1 working day upon receipt of cleared payment - opens in a new window or tab .

Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar leads an army that controls most of Libya, stands at the gates of Tripoli and is threatening to overthrow the Government of National Accord. John Oates, who worked in Libya before the 1969 coup, charts the country's history from the Romans to Gaddafi - encompassing oil barons, Lockerbie, surveillance and mass murder, it is a chilling tale of power, corruption and lies. The late Gaddafi was autocratic and cruel, and his people finally rose up against him in February 2011--but how did he survive for so long? It clearly states or suggests that the book is about the period of Gaddafi’s rule (Pariah State) – post September 1969. If this is the first time you used this feature, you will be asked to authorise Cambridge Core to connect with your Dropbox account.The remaining 54 pages are an equal disappointment – in my honest opinion the detail is of little interest and nothing more than a ‘cut and paste’ of information already well known and well documented.
