Description
A Modern History of Jordan by Kamal Salibi This book tells the story of Jordan's transformation from a poor and ungovernable state to a prosperous and stable country in the Middle East. The author, Kamal Salibi, explores the key events and decisions that have shaped the country's history, from its origins in the Arab revolt at the end of World War I to its current status as a major player in regional politics. The book examines the far-reaching implications of the Palestinian tragedy and the complex relationship between Jordan and its neighbours, particularly Israel. It also looks at the role of King Hussein, who has guided the country through difficult times and introduced democracy in 1988. Through a detailed analysis of these events, Salibi sheds light on the complex history of Jordan and its place in the modern Middle East. With a new edition, this book provides a fresh perspective on a country that has defied expectations and achieved remarkable stability in a region known for turmoil.
