Description
As King Abdullah of Jordan positions himself as peace broker in the Middle East alongside the United States in the hopes of ending sixty years of conflict, Amman-based journalist, Randa Habib reveals both the inner workings of the Jordanian royal court and the country's relationship with the outside world. The first journalist to interview King Abdullah when he ascended the throne, Habib also broke the story that it would indeed be Abdullah, King Hussein's son, who would succeed him, and not the designated Crown Prince Hassan, Hussein's brother. Drawing on twenty-five years of unprecedented access to the late King Hussein, Habib paints a personal picture of Hussein in his relations with Saddam Hussein, Hafez al-Assad and Itzak Rabin, bringing to life Jordan's political arena in an accessible and gripping account.
