In 1801 and again in 1809 the British made a treaty with the Qajar
regime of Persia. The two treaties and the attempts to define and
to protect Great Britain's interests in the Middle East were known
at the time as the Persian Connection. Edward Ingram's scholarly
and extensively researched study shows how the British expected the
Persian Connection to help them win the Napoleonic Wars and to
enable them to enjoy the fruits of empire in India. Professor
Ingram examines British policies and activities in the Middle East
and Central Asia during the early nineteenth century, and traces
the course of Anglo-Russian diplomatic relations during this
period. The Persian Connection, he argues, was a measure of the
status and reputation of Britain as a Great Power; the history of
its first twenty years illustrates the limits to British power, as
well as having much light to shed on the creation of the Indian
Empire.
