Robert Grant Watson was a British diplomat attached to the British
Legation in Persia. His A History of Persia, published in 1866, is
a detailed account of events in the country in the first half of
the nineteenth century, when the foundations of the Qajar dynasty
were being laid. Watson uses both European and Persian sources to
detail the circumstances of the Qajar rise to rule and recount the
tumultuous events of Persia affairs - both foreign and domestic -
between 1800 and 1860. This was one of the first books to be
written on this specific period and details Persia's entanglements
with European powers, including the war between Persia and Russia,
her internal ructions, and the complex dealings of the various
treaties and their upsets. The hard-to-find volume is now
re-published with a new introduction by the leading scholar of
Iranian History, Ali Ansari, who is Professor at St Andrews
University in the U.K.
