Reviews

The product of extensive research and impeccable scholarship...the best account we have - Professor Avi Shlaim, St Antonys College, Oxford; The scholarship is superb. Alon brings together a wide range of historical sources, in English, Arabic and Hebrew, many of which have never been used before, and offers a sophisticated, in-depth analysis of state formation in the mandate years. - Professor Andrew Shyrock, University of Michigan; An impressive piece of work..a subtle study that gives due emphasis to the shifting complexities of its subject whilst emaining readable and accessible - Dr Philip Robbins, St Antony's College Oxford; A well-written nad nuanced study of tribes and state development. It should be required reading for all those interested in Jordanian politics and in the role of tribes and tribalism in post-independence state formation more broadly. - Professor Laurie Brand, Journal of Islamic Studies


The product of extensive research and impeccable scholarship....the best account we have - Professor Avi Shlaim, St Antonys College, Oxford.
