...even a vastly romantic 19-year-old girl, could have uttered the bombastic speeches credited to her by the memoir. But the book was written in 1865, only two years after Belle was released from prison, by a ghost named George A. H. Sala. His style is implacably flossy; a hole in a prison wall, through which Belle passed notes, is referred to as a "mural disturbance...
...unfathomable maze of gross and petty intrigue, the intelligence network, like the army, has undergone a top-to-bottom purge since the war, which showed up its almost total ignorance of Israeli plans and strategy.

...People's Choice. By sacking Glubb, Hussein made himself King before his subjects in fact as well as in title. Overnight he was the hero of the Palestinians. Newspapers hailed him as "the new Sala-din." When he toured the refugee centers, frenzied crowds tore off his red-checkered headdress and bore him through the streets shouting: "Long live Hussein-with his sword we will go to war!" Legionnaires shouted: "Back to Palestine!" "It was the first time in the history of the Hashemite family that one of them stood up to the British," said a former Hussein critic...
