Review

"Robert B. Satloff's book documents a fascinating formative period in Jordanian history, the six tumultuous years following King Abdullah's assassination in 1951...anyone interested in Jordan will find this book very valuable, full of fascinating detail of a critical era in the country's history."--American Historical Review

"A finely-detailed history of royal rule in Jordan from the death of King Abdullah in 1951 through the brief reign of King Talal, to the emergence of King Hussein in full command following the crisis in 1957."--Middle East Journal

"Excellent....A fine account of these years."--Foreign Affairs

"An extremely readable book on the politics of succession and consolidation during the state of Jordan's most turbulent decade. The breadth of sources consulted, and the carefully crafted judgements of the author together with some succinct insights help to make this work arguably the best book yet to be published on the Hashemite kingdom."--International Affairs

"A highly interesting account of the politics of a neglected portion of Jordan's past."--Journal of Palestine Studies

"...A well conceived and analytical study which will be of interest to scholars of modern Middle Eastern history and the more general field of decision-making elites in emerging states."--Middle Eastern Studies Association Bulletin
