Muammar Quaddafi's short stories and essays in this book are more revealing about his vision of the world than all of his addresses and the articles and reports that have been written about him during the last 25 years.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
May we suggest a stint at Tripoli's Writers' Workshop to brush up on, say, plot, character, dialogue, tone, and coherence? Qaddafi often ignores these in favor of the rant, reminding one of Dennis Miller, albeit slightly funnier. -- Entertainment Weekly, Alan Smithee

Qadhafi as a writer,
By A Customer
This review is from: Escape to Hell and Other Stories (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book because it gives insight into Qadhafi the man. It is more current than many of the books written about Qadhafi. The stories "The City", "The Village" and "Escape to Hell" are very revealing. I feel one can learn much more about a person by reading what he has written than by reading what has been written about him.

This Dangerous Dream,
By David Seals (Rapid city, South Dakota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Escape to Hell and Other Stories (Hardcover)
Go to the Geocities.com website about LIBYA to read a full review which is necessarily more than a 1,000 words, as this book and this subject have been boycotted mostly by Amazon. I wrote the review in 1998 and Amazon has refused to run it.

Great Reading If You Suffer From Insomnia,
By A Customer
This review is from: Escape to Hell and Other Stories (Hardcover)
Reading this drivel along with Pierre Salinger's Valentine from the Heart to the misunderstood tyrant - I could not help but thinking of Mel Brook's movie "The Producers" with its climatic play "Spring Time For Hitler". If there ever was a more lunatic writer and dictator then Qaddafi (how do you spell the nut jobs name - Qaddafi, Gadafi, Khadafy?)I would like to know about it. If there ever was a more idiotic "journalist" then Salinger - please let me know. Shame on the publisher!
