*“Let the free people of the world know that
we could have bargained over and sold out
our cause in return for a personal secure and
stable life. We received many offers to this
effect but we chose to be at the vanguard of
the confrontation as a badge of duty and
honour. Even if we do not win immediately,
we will give a lesson to future generations
that choosing to protect the nation is an
honour and selling it out is the greatest
betrayal that history will remember forever
despite the attempts of the others to tell you
otherwise.”

*SYNOPSIS*

    It took three decades for the United States government—spanning and
    working assiduously over five different presidential administrations
    (Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II , and Obama)—to terminate the 1969
    Qaddafi Revolution, seize control over Libya’s oil fields, and
    dismantle its Jamahiriya system. This book tells the story of what
    happened, why it happened, and what was both wrong and illegal with
    that from the perspective of an international law professor and
    lawyer who tried for over three decades to stop it.

    Francis Boyle provides a comprehensive history and critique of
    American foreign policy toward Libya from when the Reagan
    administration came to power in January of 1981 up to the 2011 NA TO
    war on Libya that ultimately achieved the US goal of regime change,
    and beyond.

    He sets the record straight on the series of military conflicts and
    crises between the United States and Libya over the Gulf of Sidra,
    exposing the Reagan administration’s fraudulent claims of Libyan
    instigation of international terrorism put forward over his eight
    years in office.

    Boyle reveals the inside story behind the Lockerbie bombing cases
    against the United States and the United Kingdom that he filed at
    the World Court for Colonel Qaddafi acting upon his advice—and the
    unjust resolution of those disputes.

    Deploying standard criteria of international law, Boyle analyzes and
    debunks the UN R2P “responsibility to protect” doctrine and its
    immediate predecessor,“humanitarian intervention”. He addresses how
    R2P served as the basis for the NATO assault on Libya in 2011,
    overriding the UN Charter commitment to state sovereignty and
    prevention of aggression. The purported NATO protection in actuality
    led to 50,000 Libyan casualties, and the complete breakdown of law
    and order. And this is just the beginning. Boyle lays out the
    ramifications: the destabilization of the Maghreb and Sahel, and the
    French intervention in Mali—with the USA/NATO/Europe starting a new
    imperial scramble for the natural resources of Africa.

    This book is not only a classic case study of the conduct of US
    foreign policy as it relates to international law, but a damning
    indictment of the newly-contrived R2P doctrine as legal cover for
    Western intervention into thiird world countries.
