Gaddafi's Harem

Who knew Gaddafi was not the eccentric comical lunatic that he was portrayed as in the Western press for the forty odd years he was the Libyan leader?
If the content of this book it to be believed, as despite a few randoms questioning the authenticity of it, I see no reason to question the stories told within, Gaddafi was a sex maniac, a rapist, and a control freak with a god complex. An evil man, to be sure, but a man surrounded by a network of sycophantic enablers, many of them women whose sole role was to go out to entrap young girls for rape and torture.
This book, written in French, so another translation into English (which may not have assisted the quality of the writing) is in two parts. The first is the story of Soraya, a 15 year old girl picked out from a visit Gaddafi made to her school. She was summoned to his palatial compound and systematically raped and abused, kept confined in a harem of other girls, and refused contact with her family. The second part of the book is a series of chapters telling the story of other girls, and interviews with some of those who worked for Gaddafi - military figures, drivers (in prison), and a chapter about the end of Gaddafi's life.
The book is readable, and not overly repetitive, considering the repetitive nature of the crimes, but it isn't fantastically presented. The anonymity of many of the interviewees doesn't hep that, as too much detail cannot be provided for fear of them being identified.
