内容简介
The first major account of the life of an extraordinary
soldier and statesman, King Hussein of Jordan.
Throughout his long reign (1953—1999), Hussein remained a
dominant figure in Middle Eastern politics and a consistent
proponent of peace with Israel. For over forty years he walked a
tightrope between Palestinians and Arab radicals on the one hand
and Israel on the other. Avi Shlaim reveals that Hussein initiated
a secret dialogue with Israel in 1963 and spent hundreds of hours
in talks with countless Israeli officials. Shlaim expertly
reconstructs this dialogue from previously untapped records and
first-hand accounts, significantly rewriting the history of the
Middle East over the past fifty years and shedding light on the
far-reaching impact of Hussein’s leadership.
