Summary:

Libya is an ancient country marked by expanses of desert inland and miles of sandy beaches along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Libya was occupied by Rome at the height of Libya's empire and by Turkey -- with the help of the Barbary Pirates--in the sixteenth century. These invaders and others left behind architectural wonders. This book delves into Libya's colorful history, development, economy, and environment, and its place in the world today--Publisher.
