Abdullah II Livres

A call for peace by one the longest serving rulers in the Middle East At a time of unprecedented upheaval in the Middle East, King Abdullah II of Jordan is almost unique in enjoying widespread popular support. He is the ultimate modern-day monarch, as comfortable at a business conference as he is at a meeting of the Arab League. In this prescient memoir-cum-manifesto, he makes an urgent plea to push for a solution to the Arab-Israeli crisis. He writes with disarming frankness about his own upbringing and warns of the brewing resentment in the region. A call to arms by the most dynamic young ruler in the Arab world, Our Last Best Chance helps explain the volatile underpinnings of the new Arab awakening.

Ten years after Jason Miller killed his best friend in Afghanistan, another drug overdose results in him being sent to White Oaks Mental Hospital to be evaluated as a suicide risk, or so he believes.

What, at first, appears to be a chance to finally get clean and start rebuilding his life becomes a desperate struggle to save himself and the other patients from the horrible realities waiting for them behind the walls of White Oaks.
