Thought provoking and a surprisingly easy read considering the level of scholarship present in the book. I just wish he had kept the footnotes in this condensed version.

In this reissue of the abridged paperback edition of his critically acclaimed Collusion Across the Jordan, Professor Shlaim chronicles King Abdullah's relationship with the Zionist movement from his appointment as Emir of Transjordan in 1921 to his assassination in 1951. Focusing on theevents that led to the partition of Palestine, the author, a leading figure in the school of revisionist Israeli historians, challenges many of the myths and legends that have come to surround the first Arab-Israeli war and the creation of the State of Israel. For this reissue, Professor Shlaim haswritten a new Introduction, placing the book in the wider context of the on-going debate about 1948, and reflecting on the subsequent course of Israeli-Jordanian relations, which culminated in the signing of a peace treaty in 1994. This is a masterly and authoritative study, which not onlyilluminates the past, but adds substantially to our understanding of the present. It is essential reading for all those interested in the politics of the Middle East.Winner of the W. J. M. Mackenzie prize Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
