Book Information
Although Libya and its current leader have been the subject of numerous accounts, few have considered how the country's emergence as an oil economy created a state whose rulers ignored the concept of modern statehood. This book supplies a detailed analysis of Libya's political and economic development since the country's independence in 1951.
