	Glubb Pasha and the Arab Legion
		Born in Preston, Lancashire, on April 16, 1897, Glubb was the son of an army officer and himself a graduate of the Royal Military Academy.
		Glubb was a little man with a high-pitched voice, and while he was shy and reserved on most occasions, he was known to have a terrible temper.
		By the spring of 1931, Glubb had 90 men wearing the legion's uniform--a long, khaki-colored robe with long white sleeves, a red sash across the chest, a red lanyard to hold a revolver, a bandoleer of ammo, and a belt around the middle from which dangled a silver-handled dagger.

	The Road to Jerusalem: Glubb Pasha, Palestine, and the Jews
		General Sir John Glubb, the last British pro-Consul in the region, could be seen as midwife to the birth of the modern Middle East - a birth as painful and tortuous as its subsequent history.
		Glubb Pasha was the British commander of the Arab Legion during those crucial years between 1939 and 1956, which were to witness the collapse of the Palestine Mandate and the establishment of the State of Israel.
		As well as analysing Glubb's personal vision of the Middle East and its peoples - a surprisingly racial vision that would condition his politics - this book examines his reactions to the Arab Revolt and the periodic plans to partition Palestine into Arab and Jewish states.

		Chapter five discusses "[t]he geographic and demographic expansion and contraction of Jordan and their impact on the development of a Jordanian national identity", which became "increasingly exclusivist" as the Palestinians came to be defined as 'other' by the Jordanian regime.
		Glubb's Bedouin were in fact "bedouinized" according to Glubb's idiosyncratic ideas about Bedouin identity.
		But if this is the case, then the theoretical edifice is compromised, because the overarching thesis is that postcolonial activists continue to reproduce colonial 'epistemology' regardless of their activism, which in the main is theorized as involving an active appropriation and internalization of some form of colonial hegemony ("subjectivation").

		The British did not give any such warnings; it seems this was a figment of Glubb's imagination (Efraim Karsh, 'Fabricating Israeli History'). Yet, even more bizarre is the fact that Morris who claims to basis his historical findings on recently released declassified documents admits that Glubb was an anti-Zionist and sometimes seemed a bit anti-Semitic.
		Why a historian who claims to basis his historical findings on primary sources has chosen a partisan account instead of the archival material is beyond comprehension. The final insult is that Morris claims the Jordanians did not enter the war to destroy Israel.
		Seeing that the entire Israeli population consisted of only 600,000 people at the time this was a monumental war and presumably the out come if the Israelis had lost would have been grim.
