It is devoted to what was then called Palestine, and to 'Transjordan', the lands east of the river Jordan that now comprise the Kingdom of Jordan. The geographical rather than political approach to the region presented in this handbook is instructive.

"The value of Palestine and Transjordan justifies its presence in any serious library on Israeli, Palestinian, and Jordanian history." -- Michael Rubin, Middle East Quarterly
