The Strangling of Persia
Story of the European Diplomacy and Oriental Intrigue That Resulted in the Denationalization of Twelve Million Mohammedans
Book • 1968
In this eyewitness account, Shuster details his nine months as Treasurer-General of Persia in 1911, where he worked to reform tax collection and build a nationalist government resistant to foreign powers.
The book criticizes the British and Russian governments for pressuring Iran to dismiss him due to threats to their interests, highlighting European diplomacy, oriental intrigue, and the resilience of the Persian people amid invasions, ultimatums, and corruption.
It provides a scathing indictment of how these Great Powers strangled Persia's independence and economic progress.
