| Summary/Abstract |
Since the creation of the modern Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the monarchs King Hussein and his son, the current ruler King Abdullah II, have presided over a nation that has served as a model of tranquility and security, moving steadily toward an increasingly democratic system of government. As turmoil has shaken all its neighbors, the royal family has managed to guard its sovereignty and independence. King Abdullah II, described as the 43rd generation direct descendant of the Prophet Mohammad, ascended the throne of the Hashemite Kingdom on the death of his father in February 1999. Educated in the United States and Britain, after training at the British military academy at Sandhurst, he served as a major general in the Jordanian Army. During his 14-year reign, the kingdom's economy has flourished, and he has played a major role in encouraging an Israeli-Palestinian peace process. World Policy Journal editors asked His Majesty to illuminate, in his own words, the roots of Jordan's extraordinary record of security and democracy and the unique challenges posed by the complex neighborhood where his nation finds itself.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article describes the road to Transjordan’s occupation of Jerusalem during the 1948 Palestine war. While King Abdullah wanted to invade and occupy the city as part of his grand political ambitions, his British military chief-of-staff, Glubb Pasha, objected to this move due to his fear that Transjordan’s army (the Arab Legion) was not up to the task and that the occupation of Jerusalem, internationalised by the November 1947 UN partition resolution, would spark international outrage. Indeed, London responded to the move by joining the UN arms embargo and suspending military aid to Transjordan. This led to the kingdom’s effective departure from the war with Israel in July 1948, only two months after it had begun.

| Summary/Abstract |
The assault by Transjordan's Arab Legion on the Etzion Bloc (Gush Etzion), a cluster of Jewish villages north of the Biblical town of Hebron, from 4-14 May 1948, before the termination of the British Mandate, constituted an important milestone in the overall Arab strategy to prevent the emergence of the independent state of Israel in accordance with the UN Partition Resolution of 29 November 1947. The timing and manner of the attack were not coincidental but indicative of King Abdullah's political and military ambitions. They also tell of the reality of mandatory policy, as it was Britain that armed, trained, and led the Legion, and was obliged to protect the Jewish villages. In theory, the Etzion Bloc, like other Jewish neighbourhoods in the prospective Arab state, should have been able to live and prosper in peace. As it were, all were destroyed and their inhabitants expelled, in this case - after a large scale massacre of surrendered fighters.
