Opis

A vivid and astonishing reckoning with the Gaddafi regime, from one of our most acclaimed and gifted international journalistsThe fall of Muammar Gaddafi, who was for forty-two years the great autocrat-madman on the world stage, is among the past decade s most dramatic turning points. In Lindsey Hilsum, a renowned British correspondent for over a quarter century, the end of the Gaddafi regime has found its definitive chronicler. Following six individuals living through this time of unprecedented danger and opportunity, Hilsum tells the full story of the Libyan revolution from the uprising of the early months through the toppling of Gaddafi s regime and his savage death in the desert.
For the paperback edition, Hilsum brings her analysis up to the present day with new material on the killing of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, the July elections, and the Benghazi anti-militia demonstrations and explores what the future of Libya will bring."
