Chapter four examines the final phase of the 1948 War leading to the signing of the bilateral armistice agreements between Israel and the Arab states in the spring of 1949. The first half of the chapter explores Glubb's efforts to enable the start of peace negotiations. It emphasises the rivalry between Transjordan and Egypt, revealing the extent to which the two armies worked against each other. New sources reveal the level of Glubb's distrust of the Egyptians and enables a re-telling of the role played by Glubb and the Arab Legion when Israel launched a series of offensives against the Egyptian Army between October and December 1948, including the Israeli siege of Falluja. It shows how Glubb saw Egypt as one of the main obstacles to peace and therefore sought to ensure the defeat of the Egyptian Army as a means of enabling the start of peace negotiations. The second half of this chapter focuses on the armistice negotiations themselves where Glubb continued to be an important actor. Glubb was not directly involved in the negotiations with the Israelis, but it was he that was instructing the puppet delgation sent to conduct the armistice negotiations. This chapter emphasises the limited autonomy of all parties of the Anglo-Jordanian connection.
