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 Hussein's leadership.","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45355959648407,"sku":"9781400078288","price":2913.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781400078288.webp?v=1767671359","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/lion-of-jordan-the-life-of-king-hussein-in-war-and-peace-9781400078288","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
