The RAFs Air War In Libya
The uprising in Libya in the spring of 2011 took the world by surprise. NATO agreed to impose a no-fly zone across Libya which was led by Britain, France and the USA.For the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, the deployment of RAF and Royal Navy assets in support of UN Resolution 1973, came at a time when severe cuts to the UKs defense spending were in the process of being enacted. The Gaddafi regimes brutal attempts at suppressing the uprising, however, soon prompted the international community to respond.
With the Royal Navy aircraft carriers and their Harrier jets no longer available, would the UK be able to mount operations 3,000 miles away?In this, the first book to analyze the Libyan campaign, David Sloggett details the causes of the uprising, and examines each stage of the war through to its termination with the death of Colonel Gaddafi.In
