Summary
This time, all the stops were out. Mack Bolan became a single-minded,
death-spewing avenger the minute Eve disappeared....
Someone he cared about, Eve had been swallowed up by the voracious
bloodthirst of international terror.
Bolan stalked the savages responsible deep into the labyrinth of
double-dealing and betrayal that marks modern terrorism. The hunt took
him from the lush Caribbean to the scorching Sahara in pursuit of the
Libyan connection that held the fate of civilization in its grasp.
For The Executioner, it was the toughest mission yet, fueled by the most
righteous revenge. Anyone who got in his way. . . was dead.

Book Summary
Over a quarter century, the renowned British
international correspondent Lindsey Hilsum has covered crisis and
conflict around the world. In February 2011, at the first stirrings of
revolt, she went to Libya, and began to chronicle the personal stories
of people living through a time of unprecedented danger and opportunity.
She reported the progress of the revolution on the ground, from the
conflict of the early months, through the toppling of Gaddafi’s regime
and his savage death in the desert. In Sandstorm, she tells the full
story of the events of the revolution within a rich context of Libya’s
history of colonialism, monarchy and dictatorship, and explores what the
future of Libya holds.
Sandstorm follows the stories of six individuals, taking us inside
Gaddafi’s Libya as events unfold, change accelerates, and those who had
never before dared to speak, tell their stories for the first time. We
see the dynamics of the insurrection both from inside the regime and
through the eyes of the men and women who found themselves starting a
revolution. Woven into her account is a revelatory exposé of the
dysfunctional Gaddafi family, the scale of whose excesses almost
surpasses belief. She tells the stories of Libyans who lived in the
United States or Europe, but went home to risk everything to provide
secret intelligence, or commit daring acts of civil disobedience, to
bring the regime down, knowing that the punishment if caught would be
torture and death.
The fall of Gaddafi, who was for forty-two years the great
autocrat-madman on the world stage, is among the past decade’s most
dramatic pivot points. In Lindsey Hilsum, it has found its definitive
chronicler.

A History of Modern Libya
Author(s):
Dirk Vandewalle

Publication date: February 13th

ISBN13:
9780521615549
Language:English
Book Summary
Libya is coming in from the cold, but for
most of the three decades following Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi's self-styled
revolution in 1969, the country was politically isolated and labelled a
pariah state. Dirk Vandewalle, one of only a handful of Western scholars
to visit the country during this time, is intimately acquainted with
Libya. He offers a lucid and comprehensive account of Libya's past, and
corrects some of the misunderstandings about its present. The story
begins in the 1900s with a portrait of Libya's desert terrain and the
personalities that shaped its development. Professor Vandewalle then
covers Libya's history during the Italian colonial period (1911-1943)
and the monarchy that ruled between 1951 and 1969. He goes on to discuss
the subsequent regime of Colonel Qadhafi and the economic, political,
and ideological developments that he engendered. Finally, he describes
the most recent events that brought Libya back into the international
fold. As the first comprehensive history of Libya over the last two
decades, this book will be welcomed by scholars and students of North
Africa, the Middle East, and by those who are visiting and doing
business in the region. Diederik (Dirk) Vandewalle is Associate
Professor of Government at Dartmouth College, and former chair of its
Asian and Middle Eastern Studies program. His academic specialty focuses
on the political economy of North Africa, and on strategies of political
and economic liberalization in the region. Vandewalle is the author of
Libya Since Independence: Oil and State-building ( 1998), editor of two
volumes on Libya and North Africa, and author of numerous journal
articles. He has received, among a number of awards, a Fulbright and
Social Science Research Council grant for his research, and has been a
Visiting Scholar at the Harvard Institute of International Development
and at Harvard's Center of Middle Eastern Studies.

ISBN13:

Language:English
Book Summary
Dirk Vandewalle is one of only a handful of
scholars who have made frequent visits to Libya over the last four
decades. His formidable knowledge of the region is encapsulated in his
history of Libya which was first published in 2006. The history – based
on original research and interviews with Libya’s political elite –
traces Libya’s history back to the 1900s with a portrait of Libya’s
desert terrain, its peoples and the personalities that shaped it
development. It then examines the harrowing years of the Italian
occupation in the early twentieth century, through the Sanusi monarchy
and, thereafter, to the revolution of 1969 and the accession of Qadhafi.
The following chapters analyse the economics and politics of Qadhafi’s
revolution, offering insights into the man and his ideology as reflected
in his Green Book. In the wake of the civil war and Qadhafi’s demise,
the time is ripe for an updated edition of the history which will cover
the years from 2005 to the present. These were the years when Libya
finally came in from the cold after years of political and economic
isolation. The agreement to give up the weapons of mass destruction
program paved the way for improved relations with the west. By this
time, though, Qadhafi had lost the support of his people and, despite
attempts to liberalize the economy, real structural reform proved
impossible. This, as Vandewalle contends in the foreword to the new
edition, coupled with tribal rivalries, regional divisions and a general
lack of unity, paved the way for revolution and civil war. In an
epilogue, the author reflects upon Qadhafi’s premiership, the Green
Book’s stateless society and the legacy that he will leave behind.

Book Description
For a reader unfamiliar with the history of
Libya, Muammar Qaddafi might be mistaken for a character in fiction. His
eccentric leadership as the nation's "Brother Leader," his repressive
regime, sponsorship of terrorist violence, unique vision of the state,
and relentless hold on power all seem implausibly extreme. This riveting
book documents the extraordinary reality of Qaddafi's rise and 42-year
reign. It also explores the tenacious popular uprising that finally

John Wright begins his history of Libya as

Byzantines, Muslim Arabs, Genoans, Normans, Spaniards, Knights of Malta,
Ottoman Turks, and semi-independent Karamanlis. Wright also traces the

Book Summary
Few empirical studies of Arab countries have
dealt with political culture and political socialisation or focused on
people's beliefs, values, and attitudes towards the government or
political leaders, mainly because the regimes have been reluctant to
allow opinion to be tested. The significance of this book is that it
assesses the influence of state ideology on the new generation of
Libyans, and examines their political culture.
