1. The Foreign Policy of Iran, 1500-1941 (Charlottesville, Va.: University Press of Virginia, 1966).
2. The deja vu aspect of international rivalries in the Gulf is well detailed in Wilson's, Arnold T. The Persian Gulf (London: George T. Allen and Unwin, Ltd., 1928)Google Scholar. Wilson was the British Consul at Ahwaz. He deals primarily with the nineteenth century, but has included some material on the seventeenth and eighteenth. Of particular interest is his reference to Franco-Russian attempts to keep Britain out of the Gulf in the 1880s and the corresponding British attempts to woo Nāṣir al-Dīn Shāh.
