My Memoirs The Account of the Citadel and the Villages

Description

This is a new book—indeed, a significant new work—that captures the embers of memory, drawing the reader back to a beautiful era.

It serves as a firsthand account from a man who lived through a rich and eventful period. It is a valuable resource for historians, researchers, politicians, and anyone interested in the social and political transformations of Jordan—particularly during the second half of the twentieth century.

The author displays the boldness to reveal stances and secrets—matters he felt compelled to address while defending the Jordanian perspective against the confusion, encirclement, and distortion that characterized that era.

Nadhir Rashid’s perspective—offered half a century later—may well spark debate and dialogue aimed at uncovering the truth. Such clarity is essential out of respect for history itself and for the people who, throughout Jordan’s history, acted with either right judgment or flawed intentions—whether within the immediate national context or the broader pan-Arab sphere. Rashid’s boldness in presenting his ideas from the vantage point of an insider and eyewitness represents a qualitative addition to the accounts already provided by other witnesses, participants, and observers.
