Editorial Reviews

Review

"Slouching Towards Sirte is a penetrating critique, not only of the NATO intervention in Libya, but of the concept of humanitarian intervention and imperialism in our time. It is the definitive treatment of NATO's war on Libya. It is difficult to imagine it will be surpassed." —www.gowans.wordpress.com


"Forte's allegations that NATO's war was manufactured by liberal interventionists and 'iPad imperialists' whose agenda to disrupt African independence and execute regime change under the 'fig leaf' of saving lives are chilling—and persuasive. . . . Even though Forte couches descriptions of Gaddafi in amorphous, guarded language, he isn't an apologist. In this provocative and unabashedly direct book, Forte speaks truth to power." —www.ForewordReviews.com


“a meticulously documented study in hypocrisy: that of the U.S. elite, of the Gulf ruling classes who have lately welded their agenda directly onto that of the United States, and of the liberal bombardiers who emerged in the crucible of ‘humanitarian’ wars of the 1990s only to re-emerge as cheerleaders of the destruction of another Arab country in 2011.(…) Forte is able to bring to bear evidence that NATO carried out extensive war crimes during the ‘liberation’ of Sirte, and the evidence is impeccable…” —Max Ajl

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
When I bought this book, I wondered whether it was going to add anything significantly new to what Professor Francis Boyle and former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney had already meticulously researched and written to expose the illegal Western machinations to overthrow the Libyan government and killing thousands of innocent Libyans, mostly Black Libyans, and innocent African migrants in the process. Without a doubt, Slouching Towards Sirte did not disappoint me. With an emphasis on NATO's objective to radically and overwhelmingly militarize United States-African relations, Maximilian Forte completes the canvass of the most sinister political machination ever hatched by the West to dominate, exploit and marginalize Africans.

Every American should be required to read this to understand how unjust and immoral this country's government, military, and big business is. That includes mainstream media otherwise these lies could not be hidden from public.

This book does an excellent job of presenting the facts without undue bias. I would recommend this book to anyone concerned with understanding America's detrimental foreign policies in North Africa and the Middle East.
