▼a This book describes and analyzes the context of Libya's ancient, colonial, and monarchical history. The focal point is the Gaddafi era and what the "Arab Spring" revolution that eventually brought him down, opening a new and perilous future for this oil-rich nation, means to Libya and the world. Libya's history reflects their ancient and extremely convoluted roots, beginning well before Arabs arrived. It is comprised of Berber, Greek, and Roman occupations and includes a significant chapter from early American naval history. Such lineage is all the more impressive given the fact its three geographical components were rarely unified. In the face of recurring foreign aggression, the normally peaceful Sanusiya brotherhood moved religious retreat to steadfast anticolonial resistance and began consolidating the Libyan people. The brutality of Italian colonialism was faced collectively and stoically. In 1951, when the United Nations could not determine what to do with the lands of Tripolitania, Cyrenaica, and the Fezzan, a central monarchy was installed, though it never had one, and planted a flag that it had never seen, and called it Libya. This poor fit was kicked into the modern spirit of Arab nationalism in 1969 by Muammar Gaddafi, who grabbed power with an eclectic mixture of Arabism, Islamism, Socialism, and Nomadism. After four decades of generous yet tyrannical, liberating and frustrating, pioneering yet stubborn, revolutionary, confusing, and erratic and yet amazing changes, all swimming in oil wealth, this syncretic historical mixture tumbled down in 2011. Now, Libya is embarking on a new course, without known charts and an uncertain compass. This book records their remarkable past, traces the twists and turns of Gaddafi, and prepares the reader for some of the potential scenarios that lie ahead, based on the political tracks flowing in the Libya sands. |
