In the wake of the civil war and Qadhafi's demise, the time is ripe
for a new edition of Dirk Vandewalle's classic history of Libya.
The book, which was originally published in 2006, traces the
country's history back to the 1900s, through the Italian occupation
in the early twentieth century, 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. The new edition covers the
intervening years, since 2005, when, courted by the West, Qadhafi
came in from the cold. At home, though, his people were
disillusioned, and economic liberalization came too late to
forestall revolution. In an epilogue, the author reflects upon
Qadhafi's premiership and the legacy he leaves behind.
