At the height of her imperial power Britain clashed with Russia at
many points from Turkey to China. But it was only in Persia and
Central Asia that these two expansionist empires met face to face.
The fear of a Russian drive against India had initially impelled
the British to oppose the extension of Russian influence. Russia's
subsequent advance into Central Asia and her spectacular conquests
in the second half of the nineteenth century both startled Europe
and narrowed the gap separating the Russians and the British. This
classic work by distinguished historian Firuz Kazemzadeh provides
an outstanding history of Anglo-Russian relations in Persia in the
half century preceding the First World War. It affords both a
comprehensive overview of British and Russian policy in Iran and
detailed coverage of the most important events. The new
introduction includes reflections upon of events after the First
World War. Long unavailable this new edition will be welcomed by
scholars and students alike and provides a fascinating backdrop to
the motivations behind Iran's diplomatic posture today.
