Book Synopsis
Providing an account of the British involvement and support of the Iranian constitutional and national struggle of 1906-1911, this book examines the role of the Persia Committee, a lobbying group founded in 1908 for the purpose of changing Britain's policy towards Iran. It also covers how Edward Grey's policy towards Iran was shaped.

Trade Review
For the first time the intricacies of British political society in this period have been explored by someone who has an intimate knowledge of the Iranian Constitutional Revolution of 1906-1911. Throughout this well-balanced and carefully nuanced narrative Bonakdarian shows the interplay between the nationalists in Iran and their supporters abroad, particularly in London and at Westminster. Implicit in his argument is the subtle, timely critique of Edward Said's homogenizing discourse of western Orientalism.... A remarkable achievement. - J. D. Gurney, The Oriental Institute, Oxford University
