"This book is in many important ways the culmination of John Wright's long involvement with Libya. Meticulously researched, with a breadth and insights only a long-term observer can muster, the different chapters provide wonderfully concise, analytic summaries of each distinc¬tive historical period. What has always made Wright's writing attractive, and particu¬larly in this volume, is his direct and engaging prose, providing clear and accessible writing rather than much of the jargon that has bedeviled other treatments. The result is a wonderfully succinct yet highly insightful recall of the country's past and present that does not in any way sacrifice clarity for detail. This book is not only a 'good read' for non-specialists but will be much appreciated by Libya observers as well, since there is no current up-to-date comprehensive history of the country available. The crowning achievement of a highly respected Libya observer."
