The Hashemites are descendants of the Prophet Muhammad, and they have long been seen as the guardians of the holy sites of Islam. They have also been instrumental in the development of Arab nationalism and the struggle for independence from colonial rule.

In this book, historian Tarif Khalidi provides a comprehensive and engaging exploration of the history, politics, and legacy of the Hashemite dynasty. He draws on a wealth of primary and secondary sources to provide a nuanced and insightful account of one of the most important families in the Middle East.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a historical overview of the Hashemite dynasty, from its origins in the Arabian Peninsula to its rise to power in the modern Arab world. The second part examines the political role of the Hashemites in the modern Middle East, focusing on their involvement in the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Cold War, and the Gulf War.

The third part of the book assesses the legacy of the Hashemite dynasty. Khalidi argues that the Hashemites have played a positive role in the development of the modern Arab world, but he also acknowledges that they have faced significant challenges in recent years. He concludes by offering a thoughtful and balanced assessment of the future of the Hashemite dynasty.

The Hashemites in the Modern Arab World is a major contribution to the scholarship on the Middle East. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history, politics, and culture of the region.
