Collusion Across The Jordan by Avi Shlaim
King Abdullah, the Zionist Movement, and the Partition of Palestine
Using archival evidence, the book argues that in the years surrounding 1948 the Hashemite ruler of Transjordan pursued a series of covert understandings with Zionist leaders and elements of the British administration to advance his territorial ambitions in Palestine; these secret negotiations and pragmatic accommodations shaped military and diplomatic outcomes during the 1948 war, facilitated the annexation of parts of Palestine, and helped produce the displacement of many Palestinians, thereby reframing the conventional narrative of a unified Arab opposition to Zionism.
