Muammar Qaddafi
As a twenty-seven-year-old military officer, Muammar al-Qaddafi deposed the king of Libya and took over the government in 1969. He has been in power ever since, leading without official title but in full control of this North African nation. Although often erratic in behavior, he is credited with raising the standard of living for Libyans and bringing in a higher level of education. Through the years Qaddafi has been linked to terrorist organizations, and his actions against both friends and foes have often been violent. Yet, early in the twenty-first century, he has shown an interest in joining the circle of peaceful nations.

Conquistador in Chains: Cabeza de Vaca and the Indians of the Americas by David A. Howard, ISBN 0817308288
The current image of the Spanish conquest of America and of the conquistadores who carried it out is one of destruction and oppression. One conquistador does not fit that image. A life-changing adventure led Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca to seek a different kind of conquest, one that would be just and humane, true to Spanish religion and law yet safeguarding liberty and justice for the Indians of the New World. His use of the skills learned from his experiences with the Indians of North America, however, did not always help him in understanding and managing the Indians of South America, and too many of the Spanish settlers in the Rio de la Plata Province found that his policies threatened their own interests and relations with the Indians. Eventually many of those Spaniards joined a conspiracy that removed him from power and returned him to Spain in chains.
