The modern history of Jordan
In this political history, Kamal Salibi gives an account of how Jordan was transformed from a sparsely populated, poor and ungovernable region into one of the most prosperous and stable countries of te Middle East. With remarkable narrative power, he traces the story of modern Jordan from the rule of the Hashemite Emir Abdullah (1921-51). The book goes on to examine the far-reaching implications of the Palestinian tragedy and the effect on Jordan of the Suez crisis and the Six Day War of 1967. It includes an examination of the role played by Jordan during the Gulf War of 1991 and of the prospects for the normalization of relations with Israel following the 1994 peace treaty -- Provided by publisher
