The Military Intervention in Libya: Realist or Humanitarian? Namia Akhtar

This book unveils the myth of humanitarian intervention in the Libya war in 2011 that was advertised as NATO doing a favour to the Libyan people. Nonetheless, This book has argued that the key countries involved in the Libya war specifically France, Britain and the United States were driven by core national interest. It was economic interest and the refugee crisis that largely motivated France and Britain whereas the United States were driven by their ambition to spread the branch of AFRICOM in the African continent.
