FROM THE PUBLISHER
The fourth largest nation on the African continent, Libya lies in North Africa. Until the twentieth century. Libya was the name of the general area and not of a unified nation. Yet this sparsely populated land has since gained the world's attention for its rapid economic growth as well as for political controversy and conflict.
