'Flighting Words, My Diaries in Politics and Journalism', by Taher al-Adwan (b. 1944, Amman Jordan). A veteran journalist, Adwan is an advocate of an independent press, and speaks out against attacks on journalists doing their 'professional duties'. The first part of the book deals Adwan's participation as a minister in the Jordanian government in 2011, ending his resignation in protest of proposed laws to 'restrict media expression'. The second part deals with many of the writings published by al-Arab al-Yawm, where he served as Editor-in-Chief from 1997 to 2011.
