1988réf. 736j2288New York: Columbia University Press. Good in Fair dust jacket. 1988. First Edition. Hardcover. 0231068387 . "Tells the story of the unusual and highly secret relationship between Abdullah the Hashemite ruler of Jordan and the Zionist movement. Spanning three eventful decades from the appointment of Abdullah as Emir in 1921 to his assassination in 1951 it focuses in particular on the clandestine diplomacy and the political and military processes which determined the fate of Palestine between 1947 and 1950 and which left the Palestinian Arabs without a homeland. Proves conclusively that Abdullah not only colluded with the Zionists to gain control over as much of Arab Palestine a possible but that he also received occasional payments for his collaboration. A riveting account which demolishes many of the myths and legends that have come to surround the birth of Israel the origins of the Palestinian problem and the causes of the Arab-Israeli conflict." - dust jacket. xvi 676 p.
