Dhaher Al Omar ran northern Palestine through the middle of the 18th century, a country nominally under the sovereignty of the Ottoman Empire, but in reality very much in control of its own affairs. Proud and massively resilient, Dhaher Al Omar saw off countless incursions from outside invaders, and through his control of cotton and olive oil trade, he was able to establish a stable and autonomous sheikhdom that extended from Beirut to Gaza and included the Jabal Amil and Jabal Ajlun regions. In this carefully researched record, the respected historian, Dr Raouf Abujaber, brings together diverse international source material to present a picture of this remarkable leader, his life and times. Al Omar stands as a nationalist figure to this day - an example of Arab sovereignty in the face of the onslaught of the great powers internationally. This important historical account remains relevant in the Middle East today - a valuable insight into the shaping of history through the centuries.
Dr Raouf Sa' d Abujaber is a distinguished historian of nineteenth century Transjordan and has written widely on Ottoman history. Aside from his activities as a scholar, Dr Abujaber is a leading industrialist, several times president of the General Arab Insurance Federation and the Jordan Insurance Federation and head of a number of philanthropic associations in Jordan. He was for 35 years the Honorary Consul General of the Netherlands in Jordan.
