In March 2011, NATO launched a mission hitherto entirely
unthinkable: to protect civilians against Libya's ferocious regime,
solely from the air. NATO had never operated in North Africa, or
without troops on the ground; it also had never had to move as
quickly as it did that spring. It took seven months, 25,000 air
sorties, 7,000 combat strike missions, 3,100 maritime hailings and
nearly 400 boardings for Tripoli to fall. This book tells for the
first time the whole story of this international drama, spanning
the hallways of the United Nations in New York, NATO Headquarters
in Brussels and, crucially, the two operational epicentres: the
Libyan battlefield, and Joint Force Command Naples, which was in
charge of the mission. Weighill and Gaub offer a comprehensive
exploration of both the war's progression and the many challenges
NATO faced, from its extremely rapid planning and limited
understanding of Libya and its forces, to training shortfalls and
the absence of post-conflict planning. Theirs is a long-awaited
account of the Libyan war: one that truly considers all the actors
involved.
