Synopsis

British policy in the Near and Middle East under review, with Persia as a focal point. This book offers a concise, in‑depth look at how imperial aims meet local realities in the region. It examines whether weakness or expensive grand schemes have shaped decisions, and what a practical policy could look like.

The author lays out a verdict on how the cabinet’s choices in Persia affect finance, governance, and sovereignty. From revenue systems to opium and tobacco taxes, the text traces why administration and control matter as much as strategic aims. It also surveys the administration of customs, land, and state power, highlighting where money flows and where it stalls.

- How Persian finance and revenue sources work, and where inefficiencies show up
- The challenges of taxation, customs, and revenue administration
- The role of Feisul in Mesopotamia and the broader implications for regional stability
- Potential flashpoints and the outlook for British influence in the area

Ideal for readers who want a clear, grounded view of Middle Eastern policy and its economic and political consequences during the era.
