Jordanians, Palestinians, and the Hashemite Kingdom in the Middle East Peace Process

Published just after the death of Jordan's King Hussein, this well-reseach book describes how the late King in his lifetime worked out most of the state-to-state crises in Jordan's regional relationships and why he could not pass on to his heir, now King Abdullah, a full resolution of the rivalry and tension between the nationalisms of Jordanians and Palestinians.
