The Passing of a Peacemaker

by Mindy Belz

Cover Story | From his teenage years, King Hussein of Jordan lived a life of extreme risk. His political life was no different, except that he distinguished himself as a risk-taker in pursuit of peace in an unstable part of the world. His death leaves a tremendous vacuum. Will the extremists he kept at bay during his reign rise to new prominence in the Middle East balance of power, or will the new king find Hussein's courage?
