Summary: Toppling Qaddafi is a carefully researched, highly readable look at the role of the United States and NATO in Libya's war of liberation and its lessons for future military interventions. Based on extensive interviews within the U.S. government, this book recounts the story of how the United States and its European allies went to war against Muammar Qaddafi in 2011, why they won the war, and what the implications for NATO, Europe, and Libya will be. This was a war that few saw coming, and many worried would go badly awry, but in the end the Qaddafi regime fell and a new era in Libya's history dawned. Whether this is the kind of intervention that can be repeated, however, remains an open question – as does Libya's future and that of its neighbors.A highly readable account of the current crisis in Libya which features high-level interviews in the White House, State, and Defense Departments.Examines implications for the future of military intervention in Libya.(http://www.cambridge.org/us/academic/subjects/law/un-and-international-organisations/toppling-qaddafi-libya-and-limits-liberal-intervention)
