| Abstract
|
:
|
"Despite serious obstacles, for 46 years, from 1953 to 1999, Jordan's King Hussein bin Tala led his small kingdom through a complex period that included war, rebellion, and economic deprivation, ultimately emerging, in the eyes of the west, as respected figure. This book examines Hussein's role in the Middle East as a whole, explaining his successes and his failures, while emphasizing the declining influence of London and the rising influence of Washington. In particular, it provides insights into Jordan's role in the Arab-Israeli conflict, looking at King Hussein's relations with both the Palestinians and the Arab states."--Jacket.
