theory and moves to dispence with old institution and to develop a modern society.

Chapter Eleven examines the nation's socio-economic development and appreciable advances it has made on the attainment of independence. It further makes much of the "oil factor" in the economy and social processes during an "oil boom" (up to 1982) and its sharp decline thereafter, which compelled Libyan leaders to rehaul their social and economic programmes.

In Chapter Twelve and Thirteen the author centres his analysis on the country's foreign policy and economic contacts, their priorities and objectives. The author examines how these relations have evolved from fervid radicalism to moderation, both in global and regional relations; influence of UN's sanctions against Libya in the 90s; Libyan and Russian damages as a result of antilibyan international blockade. Libya's heavy dependence on world oil market fluctuations is emphasised further.

Chapter Fourteen highlights 20th century's finish of the Libyan history: liberalization of Qadhadi's regime (since 1987), role of army in the Libyan political life and it's opposition; science, culture and their national features: traditional Berber's elements are still a vibrant force on the Libyan scene. Qadhafl's political ascent of a simple "badawin" to the revolutionary monarch: he is often ridiculed and at the same time he is rather fearless in his revolutionary initiatives. The chapter ends with relations between the two countries, Russia and Libya, as the author sees them.

From the Prof. A.Egorin's point of view the image of Libya in the world in the 20th century is a grotesque distortion of the truth. Some knowledge of the country's history and the Libyan people's struggle against foreign domination in the 20th century is an essential prerequisite for any understanding of how Libyans see themselves and the rest of the world.

This vast desert state as Prof. A.Egorin have summarized even now is one of the most misunderstood countries with its impressive social, cultural, political and economic results have been achieved by Libya on the attainment of full independence.

Actually Libya's struggle against foreign penetration is going on and it reminds the beginning of the 20th century. Libyans with their leaders and with their friends abroad have understood it.
