Capitol Hill staffers seeking to learn more about Libya and its ruler, Moammar Gadhafi, should check out some of these recommended books on the nation’s political history.
“Libya: From Colony to Independence,” by Ronald Bruce St. John, 2008
This book is accessible to casual readers and students of history alike. St. John covers Libyan history from the earliest evidence of nomadic tribes well into the later years of Gadhafi’s regime and presents it all in a coherent and readable narrative. St. John is a “solid” historian, Wehrey said.
Rep. Bill Cassidy has his blood drawn by Alesha Barbour during a free hepatitis screening in the Rayburn House Office Building hosted by the Congressional Viral Hepatitis Caucus to recognize "National Viral Hepatitis Testing Day."
Roll Call has launched a new feature, Hill Navigator, to advise congressional staffers and would-be staffers on how to manage workplace issues on Capitol Hill. Please send us your questions — anything from office etiquette, to handling awkward moments, to what happens when the work life gets too personal. Submissions will be treated anonymously.
