Red Leader is Missing: A Memoir (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781917523332)

In 1964, a young Englishwoman sets out on an adventure to Jordan, eager to embrace the unknown. What begins as a Foreign Office assignment soon transforms into a life she never anticipated - one of deep love, cultural discovery and heartbreaking loss.

Patricia Salti's extraordinary memoir charts her journey as she falls in love with Muwaffaq Salti, a dashing Jordanian Air Force pilot, and navigates the joys and challenges of a life between two worlds and many conflicts. From the heart of Jordanian society to the shifting political landscape of the Middle East, Patricia intimately and beautifully weaves her personal story with the history she has lived through.
