This review is from: Qajar Iran: Political, Social and Cultural Change, 1800-1925 (Paperback)

This book is a collection of twenty-one essays on Qajar Iran, each written by an expert in the field. The essays are all from ten pages to about twenty pages in length, and cover everything from biographies to critical examinations of events. As this was written for a scholarly reader, much of the writing is somewhat dry. However, that said, it does contain an absolute goldmine of information on the era, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in nineteenth century Iran/Persia.
