Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Battle of Ra's Lanuf was a two-phase battle between forces loyal to Libyan president Muammar Gaddafi and the Libyan opposition for control of the town of Ra's Lanuf. It followed the Battle of Brega which occurred two days before in the town Brega, roughly 80 miles (129 km) to the east of Ra's Lanuf. After conquering the town on 4 March, the rebels pushed further west to attack Sirt but they were driven back by government forces and on 11 March, government troops reconquered most of Ra's Lanuf.
