Marcuzzi’s work is both timely and essential, providing a critical examination of a conflict that has had implications for regional stability and international security. The book is structured into well-defined sections that methodically explore the chronological unfolding of events, the decision-making processes, and the strategic miscalculations that led to what Marcuzzi terms a “failure” of the international community’s efforts in Libya (p. 157). In this regard, the book mainly comprises of two sections: ‘responsibility to protect’ and ‘responsibility to rebuild.’
