Approximately 9.5 x 6.5 x 1 inch, 197 page hardcover book with dust jacket. Translated from the French. Published by Longman Publishing Group Tent Diplomacy: Gaddafi was known for his unconventional approach to diplomacy. He often eschewed traditional hotels and instead preferred to stay in a Bedouin-style tent, even when attending international summits or meetings. This practice earned him the nickname "The Tent King." Bodyguards: Gaddafi had a large contingent of female bodyguards, known as the "Amazonian Guard," who were trained in martial arts and firearms. These female bodyguards were highly visible during his public appearances and were intended to project an image of strength and defiance. Fashion Sense: Gaddafi was known for his eccentric fashion sense, often appearing in elaborate military uniforms adorned with medals and insignia. He was also fond of sunglasses and frequently wore them, even indoors and at night. Volcanic River: Gaddafi claimed to have discovered a river of volcanic water beneath the desert sands of Libya. He called it the "Great Man-Made River," and it became one of his pet projects. The river was intended to provide water for irrigation and agriculture in Libya's arid regions. Bedouin Heritage: Despite his modern persona and political power, Gaddafi often emphasized his Bedouin heritage and portrayed himself as a champion of traditional Libyan culture. He sought to cultivate an image of simplicity and humility, contrasting with his lavish lifestyle and authoritarian rule. Female Bodyguards: Gaddafi surrounded himself with an all-female security team. These bodyguards were trained in martial arts and were known for their loyalty to Gaddafi. They were highly visible during his public appearances and were often the subject of fascination and speculation. Propaganda and Mythmaking: Gaddafi's regime was known for its elaborate propaganda campaigns and efforts to cultivate a cult of personality around the leader. He often appeared in grandiose settings, surrounded by adoring supporters and symbols of power. ———— International buyers (outside United States) may experience - delays from customs inspection. - import duties and taxes which buyers must pay. - brokerage fees payable at the point of delivery. ------ Combined Shipping Available I will combine similar items into as few packages as possible taking into consideration the class of shipping requested & suggest similar alternate shipping services if it is a lower cost.
