Anglo-American Support for Jordan: The Career of King Hussein

This book focuses on US-UK relations with Jordan for the entire period of King Hussein's reign, explaining Hussein's successes and failures, while emphasizing the declining influence of London and the rising influence of Washington.

"Based on British and American documents, and the recollections of former diplomats, this is a useful and informative study of the relationship between the Western powers and Jordan during the reign of King Hussein." - Nigel Ashton, Senior Lecturer in International History, The London School of Economics and Political Science
