Gaddafi's "The Green Book"

This is a book giving Col Gaddafi's views on economics, democracy and society. Would be buyers do note that this is a short book! Only 106 pages long. Gaddafi writes wells and gets to the point. This is not a long, tedious read. On the contrary, it is always interesting.Gaddafi offers many insights into current trends, such as the immigration crisis. He does not offer any thoughts on the ecological crisis, which is a pity. Nonetheless, his remarks on the status of women, the value of sports, employment, democracy are stimulating.It is a pity that this man ended up being murdered by enraged and baying mobs, with the West contributing to his downfall. Gaddafi actually did much to engage the West and became less confrontational towards the end of his life. He deserves to be read more widely. He was not as inimical to the West as commonly believed and I for one thoroughly enjoyed reading his book, even while disagreeing with some of the content

must read

A classic....

Surprisingly good. Gaddafi had some great outlooks on alot of topics, particularly his view on womens rights sticks in mind and how he views men and women as equals, yet as different. I thought he made a lot of sense on a range of subjects.

This book shares insight on how Gaddafi perceived the democratic political system with its flaws. Sharing a view on an alternative way of governance, in his opinion.

I knew that the Libyan "civil war" wasn't all it seemed, and that Gaddafi was not as bad as the media in the West had portrayed him, but even then I brought his 'Green Book' not really knowing what to expect. I was surprised to find myself agreeing with the vast majority of the ideas that he puts forward here, far from overly complicated nonsense, much of what he said was just common sense.

Good read, alright quality, overall a worthwhile buy

A most interesting political philosophy. Al-Gadaffi points out the weaknesses of ouled democracies and points to an even more complete democracy. No wonder he was sees as a "sponsor of terrorism". Possibly his fresh ideas were as dangerous as his oil reserves were tempting. A few bombs solved both problems!
