It delineates the documentary history of events, processes, and decisions that led up to the war while underscoring its resulting consequences. Arguing that NATO's war is part of a larger process of militarizing U.S. relations with Africa--which sees the development of the Pentagon's AFRICOM as being in competition with Pan-African initiative--this account shows that Western relations with a \"rehabilitated\" Libya were shaky at best, mired in distrust, and exhibiting a preference for regime change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baraka Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781926824529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/04\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maximilian Forte","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43132979118261,"sku":"9781926824529","price":23.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_9df2ce5b-6c70-406b-8c47-aa7a68ce8d1b.jpg?v=1695136995","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/slouching-towards-sirte-natos-war-on-libya-and-africa-9781926824529","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
