The shock was intense when King Hussein decided, a month before his death, to step down as crown prince in favor of his son, Prince Abdullah.
Randa Habib, who was close to King Hussein and senior officials, reveals the circumstances surrounding this sudden decision by the cancer-stricken Jordanian monarch regarding the crown prince.
The author also recounts the successes and failures of the king’s relationships with Yasser Arafat, Hafez al-Assad, Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, and Yitzhak Rabin. She sheds light on the details of a former Libyan ambassador’s account of the disappearance of Imam Musa al-Sadr in Libya.
She also addresses the current phase in Jordan, presenting a personal portrait of King Abdullah and the most prominent events that the country witnessed up to the beginning of the tenth year of his reign.

Ibn Khaldun’s Thought, Asabiyyah and the State
د.ا9.94The author of the book states that after spending ten years in the company of Ibn Khaldun’s Muqaddimah, he concluded that: There are still many angles that need more research despite the many studies and writings about Ibn Khaldun and his most famous book, the Muqaddimah. He also concluded that corrections must be made to return Khaldunian thought to its original framework and preserve its entirety and true identity. And its readings according to the circumstances of his social experience, his personal concerns, and his modern context.
He also pointed out through his research the methodological error that many of Ibn Khaldun’s admirers have fallen into, and we mean by that looking with the eye of the present, and starting from contemporary thought, to the opinions and theories mentioned in the Muqaddimah in social, political, and economic affairs. As well as understanding his terms and expressions in a way that deviates from his purpose, and distances them from the scope of his interest and the molds of his thinking. In his view, most Khaldunian studies rarely look at Khaldunian thought as a whole, but rather they often look at his opinions in this field independently and separately from his opinions in other fields.
