First published in 1981, Libya: A Modern History traces the history
of Libya from 1900 to 1980, showing how its first monarchic
constitution was modelled by the UN Commission, and survived
precariously until the military coup of 1969. The author traces
both internal and foreign policy in detail, devoting over half the
book to the rule of Colonel Gadafi, in one of the few independent
accounts of the Jamahiriyah. He demonstrates the roots of Gadafi's
ideology in ancient Libyan traditions while defining the unique
elements of his regime with its militarism and unorthodox
diplomacy. He analyses the roots of Jamahiriyah's strength in the
oil of the desert and provides statistics on population and
economy. It is a comprehensive treatment of a nation that is sui
generis among the Arab countries. This is an important read for
students and scholars of international relations, African studies,
African history, and Geopolitics.
