Download or read book My Wanderings in Persia written by T. S. Anderson and published by . This book was released on 1880 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Wanderings in Persia is an account of a three-year journey to and posting in Tehran in 1875-78 by a British official contracted to the India Office for unspecified services. The author traveled by sea from London to Bombay and to Karachi and then overland to Tehran. His return journey was via Russia and across Europe. The book contains descriptions of the major cities of Persia (present-day Iran) visited, with observations on culture, religion, and everyday life. The author is critical of many aspects of Persia, including the cruelty and despotism of the ruling shah and the treatment of women throughout society. The book is illustrated with drawings and contains a large fold-out map that uses different colors to show the author's route, the old western frontier of British India and the new "scientific frontier" further to the west, and the old Russian frontier and the new Russian frontier of 1878 after the Russian advance southward. An inset map in the lower left shows an enlarged view of the scientific frontier between Afghanistan and British India (in present-day Pakistan). The scientific frontier was a term used in 1878 by British prime minister Benjamin Disraeli (Lord Beaconsfield) in reference to a rectified border between Afghanistan and British India, by which he meant a frontier that could be occupied and defended according to the requirements of the science of military strategy, as opposed to a "haphazard frontier" that was the product of historical circumstance. Although Anderson includes this term in the subtitle of his book and marks it prominently on the map, there is in fact very little discussion of the Afghan-Indian frontier in the book, which deals largely with Persia and very little with Afghanistan. An appendix gives the distances on the stage roads from Bushehr to Tehran, Tehran to Baghdad, and Tehran to Resht (present-day Rasht), with the distance in miles between stages and remarks on the status of the road on each stage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ten Thousand Miles in Persia: Or Eight Years in Iran My first literary effort is the outcome of many years of travel and study, not only in Persia itself, where some eight years have been spent, but also in adjacent countries, India, Russia, and Turkey having alt been visited more than once. I can claim, without fear of contradiction, that in the present generation no Englishman, and indeed no European, has travelled more extensively in Ea-stern and Southern Persia than myself, while my official position has given me exceptional opportunities, such as are rarely if ever enjoyed by unofficial travellers, of meeting the better classes of natives, and thereby of obtaining accurate information. I have taken the deepest interest in the geography and history of this little known country, and have made a special study of the famous journeys of Alexander the Great and Marco Polo. Commercial questions, including the opening up of trade routes, have also been fully dealt with, from every point of view.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Offers us a fascinating new perspective on the Second World War—its impact on local societies in the Middle East.” (Richard J. Aldrich, author of The Black Door) This dynamic history is the first to construct a total picture of the experience and impact of World War II in Iran and Iraq. Contending that these two countries were more important to the Allied forces’ war operations than has ever been acknowledged, historian Ashley Jackson investigates the grand strategy of the Allies and their operations in the region and the continuing legacy of Western intervention in the Middle East. Iran and Iraq served as the first WWII theater in which the U.S., the U.K., and the U.S.S.R. fought alongside each other. Jackson charts the intense Allied military activity in Iran and Iraq and reveals how deeply the war impacted common people’s lives. He also provides revelations about the true nature of Anglo-American relations in the region, the beginnings of the Cold War, and the continuing corrosive legacy of Western influence in these lands. “Skillfully brings together the complex range of developments that took place in Iraq and Iran during the Second World War.” —Evan Mawdsley, author of December 1941 “A brilliant book that confirms Ashley Jackson’s place among the preeminent scholars of the British empire.” —Joe Maiolo, author of Cry Havoc “Consistently fascinating and thought-provoking.” —Simon Ball, author of The Bitter Sea “In this lucid work, filled with telling details and well-crafted arguments, Jackson has finally revealed the undoubted significance of Iran and Iraq to the wider war.” —Niall Barr, author of Eisenhower's Armies

Book excerpt: INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • Far more than a history of the Silk Roads, this book is truly a revelatory new history of the world, promising to destabilize notions of where we come from and where we are headed next. "A rare book that makes you question your assumptions about the world.” —The Wall Street Journal From the Middle East and its political instability to China and its economic rise, the vast region stretching eastward from the Balkans across the steppe and South Asia has been thrust into the global spotlight in recent years. Frankopan teaches us that to understand what is at stake for the cities and nations built on these intricate trade routes, we must first understand their astounding pasts. Frankopan realigns our understanding of the world, pointing us eastward. It was on the Silk Roads that East and West first encountered each other through trade and conquest, leading to the spread of ideas, cultures and religions. From the rise and fall of empires to the spread of Buddhism and the advent of Christianity and Islam, right up to the great wars of the twentieth century—this book shows how the fate of the West has always been inextricably linked to the East. Also available: The New Silk Roads, a timely exploration of the dramatic and profound changes our world is undergoing right now—as seen from the perspective of the rising powers of the East.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the dawn of history and of the dispersion of the Indo-European peoples. They are breaking their tents in central Asia along the Hindu Kush and the Pamirs, primitive Aryans with their dogs and their herds of domesticated animals. In their trek they will proceed to the farthest confines of Europe. From them the peoples of England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Scandinavia, Russia, Greece and other will take their origin. A part will penetrate into India and another portion into Persia. They will build empires and munitions factories, cathedrals and cabarets. Some less simple-minded, the Kurds, Lurs and Bakhtiaris will maintain in Persia their primitive character into the twentieth century. With them in their dispersion, the Aryans carry the sacred fire which they have worshiped since they became acquainted with its use. It was man's first great step in the mastery of nature. The memory of its aid will be consecrated in one of the World's great religions; its flame will never be extinguised on the great Iranian plateau, the museums of religions.
