This book charts in detail the West's response, particularly that
of the US, to Libya's possible involvement in the bombing of the
Pan Am airliner over Lockerbie in 1988. It suggests that this
response cannot be fully understood without consideration of the
United States as sole military superpower in the New World Order.
Geoff Simons argues that the US decision to target Libya, and to
involve the UN in this policy, has more to do with the realpolitik
objectives of a hegemonic power than with the disinterested use of
international law to combat terrorism. The Lockerbie issue is set
against a detailed history of Libya from the earliest times to the
present, with emphasis on Libya's colonial past, the pivotal
significance of Libya's oil resources, the character of the Gaddafi
revolution, and the consequent impact on relations with the United
States.
