Read my review of "Slouching Toward Sirte: NATO's War on Libya and Africa" by Maximilian Forte

Review published by  ForeWord Reviews

In February, 2011, motivated by the successful grassroots rebellions in Egypt and Tunisia, Libyans took to the streets of Benghazi in a planned demonstration against Muammar Gaddafi and his 42-year rule.

In response to the pleas of the international community to intervene militarily in a humanitarian effort to stop genocide, mass violence, and crimes against humanity, NATO began its military intervention. 

As Maximilian Forte shows in this provocative and incendiary book, NATO's undertaking was an action to exert political control in the region. It was not an effort to save lives.
