Where They Shattered His Green Dreams is a novel based on media reports following NATO's war against Libya. The account begins when Colonel Gaddafi's tragic assassination is announced, and ends with the narrator of the story, a professor of journalism at Al Fateh University in Tripoli, being murdered. The first chapter describes an evening in Tripoli on February 11, 2011, the Eve of Prophet Mohammed's birthday, and the last chapter details the cold-blooded assassination of Colonel Gaddafi, Libya's ruler for forty-two years, on October 20, 2011. Major characters include Fatima, a beautiful Libyan girl in traditional black dress who always speaks against the dictator's rule, and an old Sufi saint, who predicts the destruction of Libya by NATO forces before he is killed by mercenaries at the end of the book. Unknown facts are revealed for the first time through the pages of this political novel. Alexander Raju, an Indian English poet, novelist, and short story writer, has many books to his credit.
