Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 54
A CIA station chief, later Jordan's lawyer in Washington, reveals the secret history of a lost peace.
Jack O'Connell possessed an uncanny ability to be at the center of things. On his arrival in Jordan in 1958, he unraveled a coup aimed at the young King Hussein, who would become America's most reliable Middle East ally. Over time, their bond of trust and friendship deepened. His narrative contains secrets that will revise our understanding of the Middle East.

An interesting perspective
Revisado: 08-11-20
I find the perspective of the author interesting. While he is a CIA agent, he still takes king Hussein side all the time even when it contradicts with that of his check payer. How possible it is for a person whose main job is to recruit spies to be this close and dear to the head of that state. As a Jordanian I could count a couple of errors in this narrative, one example is that Nathir Rashid is not actually the King’s uncle! I enjoyed the read.
