内容説明
In 1911, an ambitious American was invited by a budding Iranian democracy to bring financial stability to the country. He went with the blessing of the British and Russian governments, both of which enjoyed a wide sphere of influence in the region. However, no one expected him to succeed so quickly in making Iran into a credible democracy and he was ousted by the actions of the Russian and British governments. After he was forced to return to the US, Shuster wrote a book revealing the true motives of the superpowers of the time and how the region's course of history was forever altered. "The Strangling of Persia offers keen insights into the timeless methods used by powerful nations to achieve their own ends. More than eighty-five years after its first publication, it remains a powerful indictment of a short-sighted policy that crushed a fragile but promising democracy.
