Description

In Exit the Colonel, Ethan Chorin, a longtime Middle East scholar and some of the first American diplomats posted to Libya after the lifting of international sanctions, goes way past up to date reporting at the Arab Spring to link the Libyan uprising to a fallacious reform process, egregious human rights abuses, regional disparities, and inconsistent stories spun by Libya and the West to justify the Gaddafi regime’s “rehabilitation.” Exit the Colonel is based upon extensive interviews with senior US, EU, and Libyan officials, and with rebels and loyalists; a deep reading of local and international media; and significant on-the-ground revel in pre- and post-revolution.

The book provides rare and incessantly startling glimpses into the strategies and machinations that brought Gaddafi in from the cold, whilst encouraging atypical Libyans to “break the barrier of fear.” Chorin also assesses the probabilities and perils for Libya going forward, politically and economically.
