From 1911 to the end of WW2, the Libyan people battled for independence from the Italians who pursued a brutal colonial policy of annexation and oppression across Libya that culminated with the Pacification of Cyrenaica, otherwise known as the LIbyan genocide. Until his capture in 1931, the Libyan resistance was led by the legendary spiritual and military leader, Omar Al Mukhtar. Here is the gripping and inspiring tale of the Libyan resistance to Italian colonialism, led by the indomitable Omar Al Mukhtar a.k.a. ‘The Desert Lion’.
