Qaddafi's Green Book: An Unauthorized Edition (English and Arabic Edition)

Language Notes\nText: English, Arabic (translation)\nFrom Library Journal\nSince Qaddafi seized power in Libya in 1969, he has gained American enmity as an instigator of terrorism. But Qaddafi has brought marked improvementin housing, health care, education, and living standardsto his small barren country. As Qaddafi strove to free his country from foreign domination, he developed a political philosophy to free his people from the shackles of failed European thought. Published (1976-79) by Qaddafi, this book rejects the misrepresentation of the people in democracy for a pure participatory system, and materialistic capitalism and atheistic communism for a natural socialism based on economic justice. Idealistic and simplistic, this book reveals Qaddafi's concern for a decent society. Christman deserves thanks for making it available, with his helpful introduction. Elizabeth R. Hayford, Assoc.
