This narrative chronicles Libya's, and to a vast extent Muammar
Gaddafi's, remarkable past, meteoric rise to prominence, and
convoluted reign, and introduces potential scenarios that may play
out in the near term. After four decades of tyrannical, erratic-and
pioneering-changes fueled by oil wealth, Muammar Gaddafi's
government fell in 2011, and Libya embarked on a new course without
known charts. Libya: History and Revolution covers the nation from
its origins as independent land masses and kingdoms to its present
as a consolidated nation. The work does not focus on the "old"
Libya, but aims to bridge yesterday's Libya with tomorrow's,
looking at the nation as a regional economic power and military
player in North Africa and the Middle East. The result is a
comprehensive yet easy-to-understand introduction to the political,
economic, and military history and events that led to Gaddafi's
downfall, coupled with a consideration of Libya's past and present.
Opening with historical underpinnings, the book focuses on the
conflict and revolution in Libya during the Arab Spring that
brought Gaddafi down, a change that opened a new future for the
oil-rich nation. The book closes with a thoughtful discussion of
what may be next for Libya and of possible perils for the nation,
the region, and the world, as Libya matures as an independent,
representatively governed country. Covers Libya from its ancient
beginnings to the present in one easily readable volume Provides a
complete history of Gaddafi's Libya and its revolution, including
the historical antecedents, Gaddafi's rise to power, his reign, and
his fall during the Arab Spring Offers projections about the
post-Gaddafi era and prospects for Libya going forward Brings
together the perspectives and insights of two authors with distinct
yet complementary backgrounds Offers scholars and professors the
detail they seek without intimidating the undergraduate or general
reader
