In 2011, NATO and its allies launched a military intervention in Libya, with the stated goal of protecting civilians from the regime of Muammar Gaddafi. However, the intervention quickly went off the rails, leading to the destruction of the country and the deaths of thousands of civilians.

In The Destruction of Libya, award-winning investigative journalist Patrick Cockburn provides a damning indictment of the intervention, arguing that it was an illegal act of aggression that has had devastating consequences for the people of Libya.

Cockburn draws on extensive interviews with Libyan officials, diplomats, and civilians to paint a devastating picture of the country in the aftermath of the intervention. He describes a country that is plagued by violence, lawlessness, and poverty. The economy has collapsed, and the infrastructure has been destroyed. The country is now a breeding ground for terrorism and extremism.

Cockburn also takes aim at the Western powers that intervened in Libya, arguing that they have failed to live up to their responsibility to protect the Libyan people. He accuses them of hypocrisy and double standards, and of putting their own interests ahead of the welfare of the Libyan people.

The Destruction of Libya is a powerful and disturbing indictment of the West's intervention in Libya. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the catastrophic consequences of that intervention.
