  • Somali Phoenix is one of the latest books of General Ghaleb. As described in page vi of the book, the object in writing this work, to begin with, was primarily to complete an unfinished business that missed its inclusion in the text of his previous book, The Cost of Dictatorship printed in 1995, as well as material of subsequent development of the ongoing Somali crises, with the intention of producing a second account of that discourse[8].
  • The Cost of Dictatorship: The Somali Experience: is one of the most popular books of General Ghaleb. The book has more than 75 citations in Google Scholar only[9]
  • Who is a Terrorist[10]? (First & Second Edition 2002 & 2005, respectively).
  • Defending History[11], which was published in 2005.
