Lion of Jordan by Avi Shlaim
For most of his long reign (1953-1999) Hussein of Jordan was one of the dominant figures in Middle Eastern politics, its most continuous presence, and one of the most consistent proponents of peace with Israel. This book gives an account of his life and reign, written with access to many of his surviving papers.
