Excellent book covering the history and overthrow of the barbaric Qadafi regime in Libya. The author's father is an opposition leader who gets jailed but whose whereabouts and well being are unknown. The author recounts the efforts to try to locate his father and describes the terrible impact it has on him. The book is particularly good when Qadafi's son, the manipulative Saif, appears on the scene and the frustrating negotiations that take place to get information. Blair's cozing up with Qadafi and Cameron's intervention shows how the west let down the Libyans- and of course it continues

An interesting read of a son and father torn apart by Gaddafi's dictatorship in Libya. A strong, moving example of how families are affected by the stupidity of war. Hisham Matar writes a powerful account of his father as an opposition leader and his demise at the hands of the dictator.
