The book, which was originally published in 2006, traces the country's history back to the 1900s, through the Italian occupation in the early twentieth century, the Sanusi monarchy and, thereafter, to the revolution of 1969 and the accession of Qadhafi. The following chapters analyse the economics and politics of Qadhafi's revolution, offering insights into the man and his ideology as reflected in his Green Book. The new edition covers the intervening years, since 2005, when, courted by the West, Qadhafi came in from the cold. At home, though, his people were disillusioned, and economic liberalization came too late to forestall revolution. In an epilogue, the author reflects upon Qadhafi's premiership and the legacy he leaves behind. 607 $aLibya$xHistory$y20th century 676 $a961.204 700 $aVandewalle$b Dirk J.$0464742 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461800303321 996 $aHistory of modern Libya$929230 997 $aUNINA
