Libya from the Ottomans to King Idris
New!
From: Targeting Libya
$0.80
This chapter traces Libya’s history over centuries of foreign domination and the fight among Western countries over the control of its oil wealth and the rise of Muammar Qadaffi, who, against this backdrop of colonial violence, underdevelopment, and subservience to foreign powers, was radicalized by anti-imperialist ideas and Nasser’s example of nationalism and Arab unity.
