Storm in the Desert<br />
British Invervention in Libya<br />
and the Arab <strong>Spring</strong><br />
In this remarkable book, Mark Muller<br />
tells the story of British intervention<br />
in Libya and the Arab <strong>Spring</strong> from<br />
a unique civil society standpoint: he<br />
was there in Benghazi two weeks after<br />
the UN No-Fly Zone Resolution was<br />
passed, meeting with Rebel leaders<br />
to discuss how Western civil society<br />
might help them stabilise the country<br />
and resolve difficult legacy issues.<br />
Muller documents how non-state<br />
mediators and organisations,<br />
journalists, artists and like-minded<br />
diplomats, such as assassinated<br />
US Ambassador Chris Stevens,<br />
explore ways to support democratic<br />
movements and promote human<br />
rights in one of the world’s most<br />
turbulent regions.<br />
Storm in the Desert describes a<br />
dramatic story of revolution but also<br />
the murky but sometimes inspiring<br />
role successive British governments<br />
played in trying to contain conflict<br />
in the region. It gives a unique<br />
insight into the world of diplomacy<br />
and power politics and the way they<br />
impact upon ordinary human lives.<br />
