Lieutenant-General Sir John Bagot Glubb, (1897-1986), known as Glubb Pasha, was a British soldier, scholar and author, who led and trained Transjordan's Arab Legion between 1939 and 1956 as its commanding general. In 1939 Glubb became the commander of the Arab Legion (subsequently known as the Jordan Royal Army). During this period, he transformed the Legion into the best-trained force in the Arab world. Many people today have barely heard of the Byzantine or Arab Empire. In a sense, the story related in this book contains one of the principal keys to the understanding of the modern world.
