Description
Sandstorm is a powerful and deeply human account of one of the most significant events of our time. Lindsey Hilsum's reportage from Libya during the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi offers a unique perspective on the Arab world's most bizarre dictator and his eventual downfall.
The book explores the complex history of Gaddafi's regime, tracing its development from an early period marked by charisma and popular appeal to its later state of paranoia and corruption. At its heart is a compelling narrative of ordinary Libyans who found the strength to rebel against their oppressors, despite facing months of terror and tragedy.
This book provides a vivid and unflinching portrayal of the Libyan revolution as it was lived, rather than just reported on. It is a testament to the bravery and resilience of those who risked everything to bring about change in their country.
