PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Alison Pargeter is an analyst and writer specializing in North Africa and the Middle East. She has held academic positions at the University of Cambridge and Kings College, London, and is a senior associate at Menas Associates, an international research consultancy.

“In this timely reflection on one of recent history’s most outlandish demagogues, Pargeter follows Qaddafi as he seized power through a 1969 military coup, rebelling against the Western-backed king and his paternalistic system. . . . Her informed analysis contextualizes the long-fermenting stew of oppression and anger that was to finally erupt in civil war, and addresses the challenges the National Transitional Council faces as it struggles to rebuild a nation.”—Publishers Weekly * Publishers Weekly * “Her account is well-researched and draws upon direct observation. She keeps the story moving and asks the right questions: how did Gaddafi remain in power for so long, why did his end come as it did, and can Libya now be turned into a functioning state?”—Nicholas Hagger, European Quarterly -- Nicholas Hagger * European Quarterly *
