Synopsis

'A work of great authority and importance. Geoff Simons wipes away the web of western camouflage, hypocrisy and deceit to discover the utterly disreputable truth.' - Harold Pinter. This book charts the West's response, particularly that of the US, to Libya's possible involvement in the Lockerbie bombing. It urges consideration of the US role in the New World Order, arguing that the decision to target Libya is more a realpolitik strategy of a hegemonic power than a disinterested use of international law against terrorism. The Lockerbie issue is set against a detailed history of Libya from the earliest times to the present.
