Review
“”Professor Kazemzadeh’s book is to be welcomed as a major contribution to the field … a formidable and monumental work that far surpasses any other book on modern Iranian international relations … . The author has done an outstanding job of research in Russian, Britain and Persian sources … and has presented a far fuller view of his subject than has hitherto been available. … Both students and scholars should put it on their must reading lists”” – Nikki I. Keddie, Iranian Studies
“”A first class piece of scholarship.”” – A.P. Thornton, American Historical Review
“”A valuable study of Anglo-Russian relations in Persia”” – Ann K.S. Lambton
