Look in Serre's Lie Algebras and Lie Groups: he proves Lie III for Lie algebras over any nondiscrete, locally compact field. Part I of the book is on Lie algebras, but it is generally agreed that it covers only the more formal aspects and not the fine structure theory of Lie algebras: e.g. no roots or weights. (His book Complex Semisimple Lie Algebras has more of this sort of thing.) Accordingly, I am no expert but I would say that Lie III is in fact not that difficult compared to some other big theorems in basic Lie theory. | |

ALways give a reference... Serre has too many books
