Summary: Drawing on a wealth of original material from the Middle East, Europe and America, this book provides the first, comprehensive portrait of Colonel Qaddafi and his revolution in Libya. During their extensive research, David Blundy and Andrew Lycett have interviewed heads of government, diplomats, intelligence analysts, Libyan dissidents and former colleagues of Qaddafi as well as the perpetrators of errorist campaigns and their victims. They give new details of Qaddafi's family and military background, which help to explain his subsequent political career, and describe and analyse his controversial policies during his seventeen years in power. They also provide the first authoritative accounts based on new information of the operations of a number of Libyan hit teams, including the St James's Square siege, and give an exciting eye-witness description of the US raid on Tripoli in April 1986. With their understanding of Libyan society, the authors succeed in bringing Qaddafi and his country to life as never before.
