BERNARD-HENRI LEVY

He was in Libya six times during the uprising.
He was on the frontlines and amongst the very first foreigners to enter Tripoli the day after it was liberated.
He took the rebel military commanders three times to meet Nicolas Sarkozy.
He was with Sarkozy and Cameron in Benghazi and Tripoli and witnessed the curious nature of their relationship.
