'Comprehensive, authoritative and persuasive, Williams' eyewitness account offers a front-row seat to dramatic negotiations with predatory politicians and deceitful outside powers. Even Russia's notorious warlord Evgeny Prigozhin gets a cameo. Essential reading to understand why Libya remains divided, with broad lessons for international mediators.' -- <b>Jeffrey Feltman, former UN Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs</b> 'An important book that will surely prompt a renewed debate on the UN's role in Libya, and more broadly on the UN's mediation efforts in post-conflict countries. -- <b>Claudia Gazzini, Senior Analyst for Libya, International Crisis Group</b> 'A masterful exploration of Libya's tumultuous journey over the past fourteen years. With first-hand experience as a US diplomat and senior UN official, Williams provides an unparalleled understanding of the country's political realities and key figures shaping its current dynamics and possible future.' -- <b>Hafed Al-Ghwell, Senior Fellow and Executive Director of the North Africa Initiative, Johns Hopkins University</b> 'This engaging and original account of the UN's work in Libya offers a fresh and current perspective on the ongoing crisis and diplomatic efforts.' -- <b>Virginie Collombier, Professor of Practice, Luiss Guido Carli University, and co-editor of <i>Violence and Social Transformation in Libya</b></i>
