Customer Reviews

One of the best books ever written

Nigel Ashton comes from one of the best schools for politics and economics and he proves it with this work. He has always written great works but this one is by far the best. He gives a great account of King Hussein's life and went to great depths to get these sources. He really finds great sources which must have taken him years to do. The book gives a great balanced story of an important Arab leader after World War II. Side note, the book is about 350 pgs long, notes and bibliography make it 450 so dont be discouraged. Also the book is ridic heavy because of the paper material is fantastic
