His eccentric leadership as the nation's "Brother Leader," his repressive regime, sponsorship of terrorist violence, unique vision of the state, and relentless hold on power all seem implausibly extreme. This riveting book documents the extraordinary reality of Qaddafi's rise and 42-year reign. It also explores the tenacious popular uprising that finally defeated him and the possibilities for Libya as the future unfolds. Alison Pargeter, an author with deep understanding of Libya's history and people, explains what led up to Qaddafi's bloodless coup in 1969 and how he proceeded to translate his highly personalized vision into political, economic, and social policy. She discusses his tight-knit networks, the crises he overcame-including sanctions after the Lockerbie bombing in 1988-as well as his astounding maneuverings in the early 2000's to restore tattered relations with the West. Pargeter provides a thoroughly fascinating analysis of the 2011 revolt and uncovers the full details of Qaddafi's downfall. She concludes by introducing the new power brokers in post-Qaddafi Libya as well as the variety of knotty challenges that now confront them. 606 $aDictators$zLibya$vBiography 606 $aPolitical culture$zLibya$xHistory 606 $aPolitical persecution$zLibya$xHistory 606 $aPresidents$zLibya$vBiography 607 $aLibya$xPolitics and government$y1969- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDictators 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitical persecution$xHistory. 615 0$aPresidents 676 $a961.204/2092 700 $aPargeter$b Alison$0999644 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452839703321 996 $aLibya$92472454 997 $aUNINA
