From the Voices for Libya website: "The stories told here (in the Voices 4 Libya book) are penned by those who never before wielded anything more menacing than a fork or struck anything more intimidating than a computer key. These are the voices of those who could no longer remain silent and passive in the face of totalitarian injustice. Some are told by Freedom Fighters. Some are told by those who loved them, fed them, cared for them and wrote about them, making sure their flame burnt brightly enough to be seen all across the world. Intertwined with the stories of Libyan people are those of strangers from all over the globe. They came together to care and write about people they had never met and a country most had never visited."

Be ready to hear about the Libyan Revolution of February 17, 2011 and how the collective voices of ordinary people
became involved in that conflict in many different ways.
This story will prove to be intense and very interesting.  
It's a don't miss event!!
