The subtitle pretty much describes the book here: it is the story of Qaddafi‘s rise to power, his years in power, then the uprisings and his demise. Overall it‘s good information, though I do wish it had been a little more meaty.

Librarybelle I noticed that it‘s less than 300 pages, so it sounds like it doesn‘t go into everything…but still good that it offers good information! 2y
BarbaraBB It sounds good but I do have a kind of creepy fascination for Khadaffi! 2y
Singout When I was in grade 8 in 1984 if we wanted to get our teacher away from what we were supposed to be doing we would either get him talking about Qaddafi or get him talking about abortion. He was completely outraged by both of them. (edited) 2y
