First published in 1981,
Libya: A Modern History
traces the history of Libya from 1900 to 1980, showing how its first monarchic constitution was modelled by the UN Commission, and survived precariously until the military coup of 1969. The author traces both internal and foreign policy in detail, devoting over half the book to the rule of Colonel Gadafi, in one of the few independent accounts of the
Jamahiriyah
. He demonstrates the roots of Gadafi’s ideology in ancient Libyan traditions while defining the unique elements of his regime with its militarism and unorthodox diplomacy. He analyses the roots of
Jamahiriyah’s
strength in the oil of the desert and provides statistics on population and economy. It is a comprehensive treatment of a nation that is
sui generis
among the Arab countries. This is an important read for students and scholars of international relations, African studies, African history, and Geopolitics.
