In this book, Mansour Bonakdarian provides a detailed account of
the British involvement and support of the Iranian constitutional
and national struggle of 1906-1911, which was directed against the
Iranian autocracy and Anglo-Russian imperial intervention of Iran.
In particular, Bonakdarian examines the role of the Persia
Committee, a lobbying group founded in 1908 for the sole purpose of
changing Britain's policy towards Iran. This book's strength lies
in its coverage of how Edward Grey's policy towards Iran was shaped
and the extent to which it was affected by sustained criticism from
a number of disparate group of dissenters, radicals, socialists,
liberal imperialists, and conservatives. The volume and breadth of
primary archival materials used is extensive. Not only have all the
standard collections been examined, such as the Foreign Office
files and the Cabinet and Grey papers but also numerous private
archives in international libraries have been consulted.
Bonakdarian's deep understanding of the Iranian issues adds a rich
and balanced approach to the literature in the field. With clear
and systematic arguments, he offers an account of diplomatic
history that is accessible and persuasive. His scholarship is
certain to reinvigorate dialogue on the subject of Anglo-Iranian
relations.
