Seeking Gaddafi: Libya, the West and the Arab Spring is a biographical account of the Libyan revolutionary and politician Muammar Gaddafi written by the British politician Daniel Kawczynski. It was first published by Biteback Publishing in 2010, with a second edition containing several revisions being published in 2011.
Political blogger Paul Staines accused Kawczynski of using 5000-word essay submissions by interviewees for an unpaid internship as the basis of his book, commenting on the inconsistency of style throughout the book and similarity of chapter titles to the submitted essays.[1] When Kawczynski recently advertised another unpaid internship[2] for his new book entitled Saudi Arabia, Staines claimed that this was "nothing but a con."[1]
