Jordan today is pivotal in Middle Eastern diplomacy, hence the importance of forming some idea of its present position and prospects. Mr. Satloff's report is of great value by bringing an informed judgment to bear on the current situation. His work transcends mere reporting or the covering of current events. What he has to say about the economic situation in Jordan and about religious movements will be new to most readers, even those who are generally well informed about the country.-Elie Kedourie, Professor, London School of Economics, Editor, Middle Eastern Studies
This is must reading for anyone who wants to figure out the complicated and sometimes mysterious process of negotiations between Israel and Jordan over the West Bank. It also provides the first coherent explanation of King Hussein's strategy of possible de facto settlement on the West Bank without negotiations.-Leslie H. Gelb, National Security Correspondent, The New York Times
