Abdullah (1951-1957). Those years witnessed the country's lone episode of weak monarchy! when the king--the novice Hussein or his ill-starred father! Talal--was not the preeminent political actor in the land. Rather! it was during that time at the regime was left in the hands of a mix of Palestinian!
