Produktbeschreibung

This book provides an excellent background to the Anglo-Iranian relations. Focussing not only on the political and economic relationship of Britain and on issues of strategic sensitivity, it illuminates British relations with society and the state and describes the interaction between various representatives and agents of both countries. Two conferences organized by the Royal Asiatic Society, London and the Institute for Documentation and Diplomatic History, Tehran in 2001 and 2002 form the basis of the book. Experts in the field make a great contribution to our understanding of Iranian history by drawing on many documents in English and Persian that had previously not been available. Contrary to earlier works, this book corrects the view that Iran in the nineteenth century was vacuous. It clearly shows that there was a national state, which seriously defended the national interests.
