The book delves into the NATO military intervention in Libya, examining the doctrinal debate surrounding the legitimacy of using force for humanitarian reasons. It contextualizes the intervention within the broader Arab Spring revolutions, highlighting the ensuing humanitarian crisis and refugee influx into neighboring unstable countries. Initially, the intervention was widely supported as a means to protect the Libyan people from tyranny, but the subsequent instability prompts a critical analysis of the decision-making process behind the UN Security Council resolutions that authorized the intervention.
