'If he survives he may well be a great man at 40':Glubb Pasha gives his assessment of King Hussein of Jordan in 1959Three autograph documents by 'Glubb Pasha', giving a detailed and perceptive assessment of the character and situation of his erstwhile master King Hussein of Jordan (1935-1999), written to assist John Freeman (1915-2014) in preparing the interview with King Hussein broadcast in the BBC series 'Face to Face' on 1 January 1960. From the papers of the programme's producer Hugh Burnett (1924-2011). The first item is a long letter from Glubb to Burnett, giving a thoughtful and perceptive assessment of Hussein's character and situation, including a discussion of relations between Jordan and Britain, and a comparison between Hussein and President Nasser of Egypt. The second item is a series of 34 potential questions which Glubb suggests be put to the king. The third item is the covering letter to the second, describing the questions in it as 'ideas which I hope may be useful', and offering to involve himself in the preparation for the interview ('we have lots of time'). The fourth item is the printer's copy of the transcript of the interview as published in Burnett's 1964 book of the series.Sir John Bagot Glubb (1897-1999) is described in his entry in the Oxford DNB as 'servant of both Britain and Jordan' and 'the last in the long line of powerful British proconsuls'. In 1939 Glubb took command of the Arab Legion (subsequently the Jordan Royal Army), transforming it into the best-trained and most effective military force in the Arab world, and himself leading it across the River Jordan to occupy the West Bank during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. According to the ODNB Glubb 'was greatly reliant on King Abdullah's support, which vanished when the king was assassinated on 20 July 1951. His son Talal reigned only a few months before abdicating, and was succeeded by his son, Hussein, still only sixteen and a schoolboy at Harrow. Although Hussein respected Glubb, the gap between their ages proved impossible to bridge and they soon fell out. Military and political developments were rapidly outgrowing Glubb, and the influential foreign adviser to an oriental monarch was becoming an anachronism.' In 1956 Glubb was dismissed from his command, and given 24 hours to leave the country. He returned to Britain with only £5, and did not receive a general's pension from either Britain or Jordan. Despite the manner of Glubb's dismissal, the two documents present here reflect the 'exemplary dignity' with which the ODNB notes he always acted thereafter.The four items are in fair condition, lightly aged and worn, all four with punch-holes for binding.ONE: Autograph Letter Signed (with Glubb's stylised curling signature). Mayfield (Sussex); 5 December 1959. 6pp., foolscap 8vo. With Televsion Registry date stamp.A thoughtful assessment of King Hussein's character, Addressed to 'Dear Burnett', and written 'In continuation of my previous notes on King Husain [sic].'The letter covers:Hussein's 'extremely democratic & informal' nature on first coming back from England to assume the Jordanian throne: 'He liked jumping alone into his car without a hat and driving into the Town - perhaps to go to the cinema. The police, the officials & the escort used to be in a frenzy looking for him. [] I don't think he can do that so much now, there seems to be too much risk of his being assassinated.'Hussein's 'attitude to everything', which is ('in schoolboy language') 'flat out': 'In 1953, 1954 & 1955, there were several ugly incidents on the Jordan Israeli frontier, villages being raided by the Israeli army & many people killed. In every case, the king's first instinct was to jump into a car and drive himself to the frontier, to see in person what was happening. [] He was most anxious to meet the people and would get out of his car in the villages to talk with villagers and get their first hand knowledge.'His love of risk: 'He delighted to drive his car at breakneck speed along the roads at imminent risk to himself & the public. I do not know if he still does that.'His headstrong nature: 'Although however he was then 18, 19 or 20 years old, all the cabinet ministers & officials were afraid of him & unable to control him. [] he always won. Thus although he did a great many foolish things from lack of experience, there was no doubt that he had a remarkably strong & independent personality, and was full of initiative.'How he was 'deceived by politicians into thinking that Britain was the enemy of his country', resulting in a breaking-off of relations between Jordan & Britain'. Of Hussein's dismissal of 'all the British officers', including Glubb himself, he writes: 'He did this entirely on his own initiative, using his own courage & will-power. The extremists merely gave him the ideas but he carried all the responsibility. Now he has discovered that he was deceived and is drawing near to Britain again - once more on his own responsibility.'His political position. Jordan has 'a parliament almost in theory like Britain', and 'The influence of his grandfather King Abdulla & his own power, are not due to an "Oriental despotic constitution but to the personalities of their two characters.' Although Hussein 'now thinks Britain can be his helper, he is an enthusiastic Arab nationalist.'The contrast between Hussein with President Nasser of Egypt. 'Nasser likes to brand everybody who does not bow to his personal leadership, as being a traitor, and a "colonialist tool" etc. This is a local political line. Hussein is as nationalist as Nasser, but his personality will not allow him to be a subordinate of Nasser. Nasser is inclined to want only subordinates. King Husain also feels strongly about Israel, and is of course bitterly opposed to the present Iraqi regime, which began by murdering all his family - King Feisal of Iraq was his cousin.'Glubb sums up his opinion of Hussein's character: 'In brief the picture is one of a young man. …
