Seller's Description: Some B/W Photos. Fine in Fine jacket. Signed by Author Gift inscribed by both authors on free end page. From Library Journal The Shumskys' illuminating narrative is based on Mendel Cohen's memoirs of his tenure at the Jordanian royal court in the late Thirties and Forties and on the Shumskys' own recent visit to Jordan. From 1937 to the outbreak of the Arab/Israeli war of 1948, Cohen, a Jew born in Jerusalem, worked as a carpenter at the royal court of Emir Abdullah. The book (put together by Cohen's daughter and her husband) is a fascinating account of how these two men, with "incompatible political aspirations [and] different faiths" developed a bond that "transcended their differences." This work is cultural, historical, inspiring, optimistic, and, although simplistic, gives us much information while arousing reflection. The bibliography is highly selective but excellent. Highly recommended for Middle East collections. ? Edward G. McCormack, Univ. of Southern Mississippi Gulf Coast, Long Beach Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Kirkus Reviews Fitting somewhere between the stories of Lawrence of Arabia and Anna and the king of Siam, this is nicely recounted by the Jewish carpenter's daughter and son-in-law, bracketed by their own pertinent observations. Actually, Mendel Cohen was more than a simple carpenter. He was a contractor to the king. Abdullah, the only Arab chief known to have talked directly with Israeli leaders, was the first ruler of Transjordan (as it was then known), an entity created shortly before the birth of Israel. Cohen, a native of Jerusalem and fluent in Arabic, was hired in 1937 by then-Emir Abdullah to refurbish his palace in Amman. Work led to friendship, and Cohen soon became familiar with the royal household and the inevitable court intrigue. Portraits of Abdullah's sons, the slow Naif and the explosive Talal (father of Jordan's present king, Hussein), the noble characters, and the wily courtiers are all drawn neatly. The stories related here range from the operation of the harem to feasts in the emir's tent, where an entire roasted camel was not an unusual entree. More than a royal backstairs expos‚, this is a thoughtful text, respectful of Arab ways and the teachings of Islam as well as the lessons of the writers' own heritage. Biblical history is felt as a current presence. The forces of enmity that finally separated Cohen and the king (in 1948, Cohen fought in the Israel Defense Force against the Arab forces commanded by Abdullah) have not abated, yet years later, visiting Amman at the invitation of Hussein, Cohen's daughter found reason in her father's experiences to hope for peace. An engaging story and a vision of friendship, seen perhaps through rose-tinted glasses, but nevertheless a rare upbeat view in a particularly dim season for Mideast peace.
