About this product
Product Information
Since Qaddafi's ousting in 2011, Libya has been beset by instability and conflict. To understand the tumultuous state of the country today, one must look to its past. With great clarity and precision, renowned regional expert Ronald Bruce St John examines Libya's long struggle to establish its political and economic identity amidst the interference of external actors keen to exploit the country's strategic importance. This authoritative history spans the time of the early Phoenician and Greek settlements, colonization by Mussolini's Italy, Qaddafi's four decades of rule and, in this updated edition, the internal rivalries that have dominated the country in the aftermath of the Arab Spring. Essential reading for those seeking a greater understanding of this complex North African state, Libya: From Colony to Revolution is an insightful history, rich in detail and analysis.

'Ronald Bruce St John is a committed scholar of Libya...his book offers the measured and confident tone of someone deeply familiar with the subject matter.', 'An excellent general overview, accessible, informative and presented with clarity... Until the secret archives in Tripoli have been raked over, you won't find a much better overview of Libya than this.', 'Excellent... accessible, informative and presented with clarity... You won't find a much better overview of Libya than this.', 'An excellent account of Libya's often contentious history: clear, concise, accurate and balanced. It will be the best general work on the country available for the foreseeable future, very useful to anyone interested in the country.', 'Rich in historical detail...containing rare insights into Libyan leader Qaddafi's thinking, particularly on foreign affairs. Indispensable for every serious student of Libya or North Africa.', 'An outstanding book...the best short history of Libya. St John has made us accustomed to first-rate analyses of Libya; this book is no exception and no students of Libya, from undergraduates to experts, could afford not to have it on their shelves.', 'For the general reader as well as for those with a good level of knowledge of Libya, there is perhaps no one better situated to...explain the country's current and future dilemmas than Ronald Bruce St John...[an] admirable history.'

This is an outstanding seller to deal with. Fair prices that are more than reasonable in this economy. The product is in better condition than described, a true value for my money. Packaged and shipped well shows seller has concern for the products he sells to arrive in excellent condition. The seller is friendly and communicates timely with his customers. I highly recommend this seller and would do business again anytime. Thank you.

This seller has little respect for the way they ship or how they describe products. This product was probably the first they described correctly but it’s tossed in an envelope without any sort of padding because they don’t care at all. I get that it’s cheap. I ordered from them accidentally but will be sure not to do so again. They have no respect for their customers.
