 The published study builds, in terms of content and chronology, on the author’s works published in the Military History, 2012, No. 1 and 3 against the backdrop of the CSSR’s military and political relations with Libya, with a view to broader international aspects. It focuses on deliveries of Czechoslovak military equipment and material to Libya, the participation of Czechoslovak soldiers and civilian experts in building the Libyan military school system and the training of Libyan military personnel at Czechoslovak schools. The study is highly original, because it provides an unprecedented coverage of the issue in the military history of former Czechoslovakia. In processing the subject-matter, the author relied on thorough research in the archives of military and civilian provenance in the Czech Republic, whose results were meaningfully supplemented by factual and synthetic information from published monographs, press releases and commentaries documenting the relations between Czechoslovakia and the countries of the Near East over the given period.

Key words: Military History. Assistance for Lybia. The latter half of the 1980s.
