Abstract

The history of Iran comprises numerous significant events, and the Anglo-Iranian War of 1856-1857 was one of them. The experts are familiar with this historical event, but the general audience is not. While many researchers devoted their works to this war, they mainly wrote about its political aspects, leaving behind the hostilities and mentioning them only superficially. This monograph is intended to restore the balance and demonstrate what was happening in the Persian Gulf region, far from the place of the unfolding political events that led to this war.

The book is meant for experts in Oriental studies and all those interested in the history of Iran.
