The Strangling of Persia is a historical non-fiction book by William Morgan Shuster, first published in 1912. The book chronicles the events leading up to the denationalization of Persia (modern-day Iran) in the early 20th century, as a result of European diplomacy and Oriental intrigue. Shuster, an American lawyer and administrator, was appointed treasurer-general of Persia in 1911 by the Persian government, and witnessed firsthand the interference of foreign powers in Persian affairs. The book details the political, economic, and social upheavals that occurred during this period, including the rise of the Constitutional Revolution, the involvement of Russia and Britain in Persian politics, and the exploitation of Persia's natural resources by foreign companies. Shuster also highlights the struggles of the Persian people to maintain their national identity and sovereignty in the face of foreign aggression. The Strangling of Persia is a vivid and insightful account of a pivotal moment in Persian history, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of imperialist intervention in the affairs of sovereign nations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
