The Institute for the Study of War began tracking the Libyan revolution on a daily basis in March 2011. ISW has published the first three parts of the in-depth four-part series “ The Libyan Revolution,” and the last part will cover the conflict up to Qaddafi’s death on Oct. 20, 2011. To learn more about the revolution, check out our daily and weekly updates and video timeline.
“The Institute for the Study of War is indispensible. It is impossible to discuss our current involvement in matters of war and peace without reference to ISW’s consistently outstanding, independent analysis.”
- Senator John McCain (R-AZ)
“When I receive a briefing from scholars at ISW, I really feel like I’m being presented with all of the facts and evidence and I can draw my own conclusion from there…ISW’s work allows me to go back to my constituents and explains to them in the best possible way how we are moving forward in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
- Congressman Thomas Rooney, U.S. House of Representatives (R-FL 16)
“I think the most compelling evidence of why ISW is so highly regarded is in the writing. When you read a report from ISW, it covers everything, it documents it, and it bases it on interviews at every level, from the four-star level down to the soldier or airman in the field. And they put it in a context of what historically has worked and hasn’t, and how what we’re doing today compares to what has been done in other theaters….They have it all together. They’re the best.”
- Robert “Bud” McFarlane, Former National Security Advisor, 1983-1985
