| Abstract | "The political turmoil in Libya, which has claimed more than 20,000 lives and frustrated international partners since 2011, is an immensely intricate power play. Its actors include an ample collection of politicians often backed by military groups, both Libyan and international. How did Libya's "Arab Spring" turn into almost a decade of civil war? And which roles have Islamist and Salafi forces played in this development? This book draws on a range of sources, including in-depth interviews and propaganda shared on social media, to examine the descent into violent confrontation in Libya after the removal of longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi. For this, the book focuses on two key movements, the Libyan Muslim Brotherhood and the Libyan Salafi Madkhalis"-- Provided by publisher. |
