British Military Intervention and the Struggle for Jordan: King Hussein, Nasser and the Middle East Crisis, 1955-1958 by Stephen Blackwell (Hardcover, 2008)
This text examines the British military intervention in Jordan in 1958 and challenges the traditional perception that the Suez Crisis of 1956 marked the end of Britain's moment in the Middle East. Analysing the issue primarily from a British perspective, the book draws attention to how the Macmillan government sought to manipulate the special relationship to further their interests in the region. Incorporating a variety of archival material, the text casts light on the role of prominent individuals and the factors underpinning Britain's policy in the Middle East after 1956.
