    Oxford University Press 1991; US$ 35.00

    When the young Hussein became the King of Jordan in 1953, conventional wisdom held that his days were numbered.

  • Jordanian-Israeli Relationsby Mutayyam al O'ran

    Taylor and Francis 2008; US$ 44.95

    Jordan?s peace treaty with Israel was unique as it bore the promise of what was termed a "warm" peace between the two warring countries.

This book explores the Jordanian-Israeli relations from a Jordanian perspective, focusing on the... more...
