The Assassination and its Aftermath
This chapter examines the assassination of King Abdullah I of Transjordan in 1951 and its devastating effects on the Hashemite monarchies in the Arab world, particularly the rise of his grandson, King Hussein. It explores the political upheavals and internal palace coups that followed, including the ousting of King Talal and the challenges faced by young leaders amid growing nationalism and regional instability. The narrative reveals the broader implications of these events, including the rise of revolutionary movements and the eventual disintegration of the Arab Federation.
