Reviews
'An excellent general overview, accessible, informative and presented with clarity... Until the secret archives in Tripoli have been raked over, you won't find a much better overview of Libya than this.', 'Ronald Bruce St John is a committed scholar of Libya...his book offers the measured and confident tone of someone deeply familiar with the subject matter.', 'Excellent... accessible, informative and presented with clarity... You won't find a much better overview of Libya than this.', 'Rich in historical detail...containing rare insights into Libyan leader Qaddafi's thinking, particularly on foreign affairs. Indispensable for every serious student of Libya or North Africa.', 'An excellent account of Libya's often contentious history: clear, concise, accurate and balanced. It will be the best general work on the country available for the foreseeable future, very useful to anyone interested in the country.', 'An outstanding book...the best short history of Libya. St John has made us accustomed to first-rate analyses of Libya; this book is no exception and no students of Libya, from undergraduates to experts, could afford not to have it on their shelves.', 'For the general reader as well as for those with a good level of knowledge of Libya, there is perhaps no one better situated to...explain the country's current and future dilemmas than Ronald Bruce St John...[an] admirable history.'

Synopsis
Since Qaddafi's ousting in 2011, Libya has been beset by instability and conflict. To understand the tumultuous state of the country today, one must look to its past.
