Iran at the Paris Peace Conference
I.B. Tauris (Verlag)
978-0-7556-5185-6 (ISBN)
This book shows how Iran’s immediate post-war diplomacy came about, the conduct of Iran’s delegation to Paris, frustrations with the Anglo-Persian Agreement, and ultimately how Iran’s progress became the victim of British imperialism. Throwing a spotlight on an under-researched period of Iranian history, it will be of interest to readers of Iranian history, and those interested in the Paris Peace Conference of 1919.
Philip Grobien holds a PhD from the University of St Andrews. His published work to date reflects his interest in the development of Iran’s territorial nationalism during the Qajar dynasty.
