"Hobler writes in a conversational style that makes the book a pleasure to read. There are a few
maps and many, many pictures. Many stories are humorous, though there are sad, tragic,
shocking and downright scary ones as well. If you enjoy reading about coincidences and
anecdotes that venture well beyond the scope of a purely historical account, this book is
definitely for you. And if you relish knowing trivia about Libya that will impress your friends,
again, this is a book you must read!"
