Unsurprisingly, most if not all of the problems you have in Libya today (and wider region) stem from the meddling by the four superpowers of the 50s era - United States, Soviet Union, Great Britain, and France.

It's very interesting to read about the decisions that led to OPEC, the Teheran and Tripoli Agreements and how those led to what happened in the 80s - and then actually recall the news from that period. History is never any one single decision - often decades of policies, diplomacy and strategic resentment.

A quiz question: who has ruled Libya over the past three thousand years?
Answer: Who hasn't.
The author's covering the pre-Italian era, and we have the Romans, the Greeks (various factions), the Vandals, the Berbers, the Arabs (a dozen different cailphates), the Ottomans, various European powers, even the Americans took a shot. Blimey.
