For over four decades, Canada has played a pivotal yet little-known role in Libya's history. In Targeting Libya, investigative journalist Owen Schalk examines how Canadian business and government actors influenced Libya's fate, from the rise and fall of Muammar Qadhafi to the country's ongoing instability in the present day. Schalk dismantles the myth of Canada as a neutral peacekeeper, revealing how corporate and political interests have driven decisions with lasting consequences for Libya and beyond.
Owen Schalk is an independent researcher and writer. He is the author of Canada in Afghanistan: A story of military, diplomatic, political and media failure, 2003–2023, and the coauthor of Canada’s Long Fight Against Democracy with Yves Engler.
