Description

A complete account of the clandestine relationship between Israel and Jordan, two Middle East enemies that have reached peace without signing a peace treaty. In this book, Melman and Raviv examine the hostile partnership by focusing on an unacknowledged, but powerful partnership among three key parties in the Middle East dispute: the Israelis, the Jordanians and the Palestinians. Based on interviews with participants in the secret diplomacy and on documents previously hidden from the public, this work describes Hussein's meetings with Israel's leaders and reveals how Israel and Jordan forged a relationship covering everything from "counter-terrorism to counter-mosquito tactics". The book begins and ends with an explanation of how a quarter of a century of secret contacts led to an explosion of frustration in the occupied territories, resulting in the Palestinian uprising. This book on Israel's clandestine diplomacy has had the benefit of access to first-hand sources, making "Behind the Uprising" a welcome source for students and scholars of the Middle East.
