Ömer Muhtar-Libya's Occupation and Resistance

Ömer Muhtar-Libya's Occupation and Resistance Book Description

We do not have sufficient sources of information in Turkish publications about the Sanusi Movement, which has a very privileged place among the 19th century Islamic resistance movements against colonialism, and the resistance of Ömer Muhtar, one of its legendary charismatic military and political leaders, against the Italian Fascist occupation forces and colonial rule. This book is a candidate to fill an important gap in this sense. The book, which contains important information about the resistance of Ömer Muhtar, who became the symbol of resistance against the Italian occupation, during the occupation, the court processes after he was captured, and the reactions these processes created in the Italian public, also includes an insider observation and criticism. Our book contains important information about the Italian occupation period of the struggle in these lands, which witnessed a great wave of awakening, reform and revival efforts extending from the Middle East [Mağribu'l Ednâ] to Maghreb [Mağribu'l Aksâ]. You will have the opportunity to read from Italian writers how the Sanusi Movement, identified with Ömer Mukhtar, who waged this struggle, carried out a difficult practice with extremely limited resources.
