Gaddafi's Harem: The Story of a Young Woman and the Abuses of Power in Libya by

Description: Gaddafi's Harem by Annick Cojean Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A shocking and moving investigation into the hidden abuses perpetrated by Colonel Gaddafi, Gaddafis Harem reveals the appalling private life of one of the twentieth centurys most malevolent dictators. Publisher Description Soraya was a schoolgirl in the coastal town of Sirte, when she was given the honour of presenting a bouquet of flowers to Colonel Gaddafi, "the Guide," on a visit he was making the following week. This one meeting - a presentation of flowers, a pat on the head from Gaddafi - changed Sorayas life forever. Soon afterwards, she was summoned to Bab al-Azizia, Gaddafis palatial compound near Tripoli, where she joined a number of young women who were violently abused, raped and degraded by Gaddafi. Heartwrenchingly tragic but ultimately redemptive, Sorayas story is the first of many that are just now beginning to be heard.In Gaddafis Harem, Le Monde special correspondent Annick Cojean gives a voice to Sorayas story, and supplements her investigation into Gaddafis abuses of power through interviews with other women who were abused by Gaddafi, and those who were involved with his regime, including a driver who ferried women to the compound, and Gaddafis former Chief of Security. Gaddafis Harem is an astonishing portrait of the essence of dictatorship: how power gone unchecked can wreak havoc on the most intensely personal level, as well as a document of great significance to the new Libya. Author Biography Annick Cojean, foreign correspondent for Le Monde, is one of Frances most widely admired journalists. She chairs the committee for the Prix Albert Londres, having won the prize herself in 1996, and has published a number of books.
