Question: Gaddafi's written work on Third International Theory consisted of how many volumes?

Gaddafi summarized Third International Theory in three short volumes published between 1975 and 1979, collectively known as The Green Book.

During the years that followed, Gaddafists adopted quotes from The Green Book, such as "Representation is Fraud", as slogans. Meanwhile, in September 1975, Gaddafi implemented further measures to increase popular mobilization, introducing objectives to improve the relationship between the Councils and the ASU.
