This is Yale Russian and East European Studies, No. 6. Firuz Kazemzadeh (October 27, 1924-May 17, 2017) was a Russian-born American historian who was professor emeritus of history at Yale University. Firuz Kazemzadeh was born in Moscow to an Iranian father and a Russian mother. His father served in the Iranian embassy in Moscow. After completing his primary and secondary education in Moscow, Kazemzadeh (then aged 16) and his family moved to Iran. In 1944, during the height of World War II, he traveled from Tehran to the United States and entered Stanford University, graduating with distinction (Phi Beta Kappa) in 1946 and obtaining an MA in 1947. In 1950 Kazemzadeh received a Ph.D. in Russian history from Harvard University. Kazemzadeh taught at Harvard in 1954-1956, then moved to Yale where he was professor of history until his retirement in 1992. During the half century preceding the First World War, the interests of two great powers--Russia and Britain--clashed at many points from Turkey to China, but only in Persia and Central Asia did the imperialist giants meet face to fact. The author described that confrontation in an account exhaustively documented from the official records of the British Foreign Office, the India Office, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Russian Ministry of War, and supplemented by reference to biographies and diaries of the individuals involved and to various histories of the period. This is the first time that a complete picture has been drawn of the methods by which policies toward Persia (and toward each other) were formulated in both London and St. Petersburg, and steps taken to implement them. This book deals extensively with Russian and British economic interests in Persia, and with domestic Persian history, especially the origins of the Constitutional movement and the counter-revolution led by Mohammad Ali Shah.
