In 2011, there was the Arab Spring Revolution in the Middle East which brought the fall of Arab countries such as Egypt, Yemen, Tunisia, Syria, and Libya. The Arab Spring is a dark history for Muslims because after these countries were destroyed, its people struggled with civil war and lived in chaos due to the intervention of the Western powers. In most of these countries, war and chaos are still happening until now. Libya is one of the countries involved in the historic revolution, which sadly costed the life of Libyan President, Muammar Gaddafi. Although the country was once rich in petroleum resources, the post-Arab Spring was not the alternative promised by the Western countries, with the hope of a more peaceful life and the offer of democratic developments. A country that was once peaceful, rich and its people lived in luxury, is now living with murder, rebellion, chaos, and poverty. In fact, several years after Gaddafi's death, the citizens of Libya have begun to miss him and hoped that the glory of Libya that had been enjoyed during his leadership could be rebuilt. This begets the questions of who exactly was Gaddafi and what was the relation between his execution, the country’s wealthy oil resources, and the Western involvement including the US, British, France, and Israel. This book unravels the important facts behind the execution of Gaddafi in the Arab Spring. Empirical studies on this revolution have shown that his assassination was strategically planned by the superpower countries through sponsorship and training of Libyan rebel forces against Gaddafi. Britain and France spent millions of dollars daily in their investments in Libya to eliminate Gaddafi by providing weapons and war equipment to the Libyan people who opposed Gaddafi. The plot to assassinate Gaddafi was carried out in retaliation on the basis of the anti-imperialism approach that he imposed.

"Death of a Dictator investigates the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, his son Mutassim Gaddafi, and members of the convoy that fled Sirte with them. It presents evidence that Misrata-based militias, after capturing and disarming members of the Gaddafi convoy and bringing them under their total control, brutally beat them before executing dozens. These killings comprise the largest documented execution of detainees committed by anti-Gaddafi forces during the eight-month conflict in Libya. The execution of persons in custody during a conflict is a war crime. One year later, Libyan authorities have neither investigated nor held accountable those who committed these crimes, a failure that undermines efforts by Libya's authorities to ensure the rule of law"--Provided by publisher."This 58-page report details the final hours of Muammar Gaddafi's life and the circumstances under which he was killed. It presents evidence that Misrata-based militias captured and disarmed members of the Gaddafi convoy and, after bringing them under their total control, subjected them to brutal beatings. They then executed at least 66 captured members of the convoy at the nearby Mahari Hotel. The evidence indicates that opposition militias took Gaddafi's wounded son Mutassim from Sirte to Misrata and killed him there. Under the laws of war, the killing of captured combatants is a war crime, and Libyan civilian and military authorities have an obligation to investigate war crimes and other violations of international humanitarian law"--Publisher's website.

A vivid and astonishing reckoning with the Gaddafi regime, from one of our most acclaimed and gifted international journalists The fall of Muammar Gaddafi, who was for forty-two years the great autocrat-madman on the world stage, is among the past decade’s most dramatic turning points. In Lindsey Hilsum, a renowned British correspondent for over a quarter century, the end of the Gaddafi regime has found its definitive chronicler. Following six individuals living through this time of unprecedented danger and opportunity, Hilsum tells the full story of the Libyan revolution—from the uprising of the early months through the toppling of Gaddafi’s regime and his savage death in the desert. For the paperback edition, Hilsum brings her analysis up to the present day—with new material on the killing of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, the July elections, and the Benghazi anti-militia demonstrations—and explores what the future of Libya will bring.

When the Tunisian and Egyptian uprisings erupted in Africa, in the first two months of the year 2011, with the chant, 'the people want to bring down the regime', there was hope all over the continent that these rebellions were part of a wider African Awakening. President Ben Ali of Tunisia was forced to step down and fled to Saudi Arabia. Within a month of Ben Ali's departure, Hosni Mubarak of Egypt was removed from power by the people, who mobilised a massive revolutionary movement in the country. Four days after the ousting of Mubarak, sections of the Libyan people rebelled in Benghazi. Within days, this uprising was militarised, with armed resistance countered by declarations from the Libyan leadership vowing to use raw state power to root out the rebellion. The first Libyan demonstrations occurred on February 15, 2011, but by February 21 there were reports that innocent civilians were in imminent danger of being massacred by the army. This information was embellished by reports of the political leadership branding the rebellious forces as 'rats'.
