Colonel Gaddafi Part 1: Son of the Desert

‘Brother Leader’, ‘King of Kings’, ‘Falcon of Africa’… ‘The Most
Dangerous Man in the World'. Colonel Gaddafi was the Libyan tyrant
who abused his people on an industrial scale, until he was murdered
by them as they rose up against him. A revolutionary who freed his
country from empire, only to squander its riches. Terrorist sponsor
one moment, Western ally the next. At the height of World War Two,
a Bedouin child is born in Libya’s desert. From these humble
origins, Muammar Gaddafi will go on to dominate global events for
half a century. For ad-free listening, exclusive content and early
