"Where They Shattered His Green Dreams"-Middle East Historical Novel is Based on Real News Stories

NEW YORK - Aug. 30, 2016 - PRLog -- Where They Shattered His Green Dreams is ripped straight from the headlines!This thrilling novelbegins on October 20, 2001, on the Eve of Prophet Mohammed's birthday. The final chapter ends on February 11, 2011, when MuammarGaddafi, Libya's ruler for 42 years, was assassinated.

Alexander Raju based his book on real-life events as well as media reports that followed NATO's war against Libya. Following Colonel Gaddafi's death, the narrator of the story, a professor of journalism in Tripoli, is murdered after predicting the destruction of Libya by NATO.

Previously unknown historical facts are revealed for the first time in this action-packed novel. The book's significance is emphasized by Barack Obama's admission on April 11, 2016 that the worst mistake of his presidency was failing to prepare for the aftermath of ousting Gaddafi.

"This book borrows generously from history, as it tells of the final days of Gaddafi and points to the tragedies that have followed. We are pleased to announce its release," said Robert Fletcher, CEO of Strategic Book Publishing and Rights Agency.
