Other Available Formats
Overview
""The Strangling of Persia"" is a historical account of the events leading up to the denationalization of twelve million Muslims in Persia (modern-day Iran) during the early 20th century. Written by American lawyer and diplomat W. Morgan Shuster, the book details the role of European diplomacy and Oriental intrigue in the downfall of the Persian government and the subsequent imposition of foreign control over the country's resources and economy. Shuster's narrative is based on his personal experiences as treasurer-general of Persia during the period of political unrest and foreign intervention, and he provides a firsthand account of the corruption, bribery, and political maneuvering that characterized the period. Through his writing, Shuster sheds light on the complex web of international relations that led to the stranglehold of Persia, and the devastating impact it had on the country's people and culture. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Persia and the impact of foreign intervention on developing nations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
