Muammar Gaddafi: The Philosopher Tyrant

About this episode

For more than 40 years one man ruled Libya. Muammar Gaddafi. He was no ordinary tyrant. Clever and creative, he designed a handbook to build a new society and woe to anyone who objected to his philosophy in life. From national hero to a hunted recluse, Gaddafi’s ironic transition from freedom fighter to dictator culminated in a horrific defeat.

Narrated by Charles Dance.
