For over forty years he walked a tightrope between Palestinians and Arab radicals on the one hand and Israel on the other. Avi Shlaim reveals that Hussein initiated a secret dialogue with Israel in 1963 and spent hundreds of hours in talks with countless Israeli officials. Shlaim expertly reconstructs this dialogue from previously untapped records and first-hand accounts, significantly rewriting the history of the Middle East over the past fifty years and shedding light on the far-reaching impact of Husseins leadership.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51960205672736,"sku":"NEW1400078288","price":22.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/lion-of-jordan-the-life-of-king-hussein-in-war-and-peace-1400078288","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
