This book investigates how British diplomats in Tehran and London
reacted to the overthrow of the Shah and the creation of an Islamic
Republic in Iran, which had previously been a major political and
commercial partner for London in the Middle East. Making
substantial use of recently declassified archival material, the
book explores the role of a significant diplomatic institution -
the resident embassy - and the impact of revolutions on diplomatic
relations. It evaluates the performance of those charged with
British diplomacy during the Iranian Revolution, as Britain's
position fell from favour under the post-revolutionary regime.
Examining the views of key diplomatic personnel at the Foreign and
Commonwealth Office and British ministers, this study seeks to
explain how British policy towards Iran was shaped and the means of
diplomacy employed. In charting the evolution of Britain's
diplomatic relationship with Iran during this period, a number of
factors are considered, including historical experience, geography,
economics, world politics and domestic concerns. It also highlights
the impact of events within the Iranian domestic political scene
which were beyond London's control but which shaped British policy
significantly.
