En
Comprehensive history of Iran by the British Iranologist Peter Avery, published in London by Ernest Benn in the "Nations of the Modern World" series in 1965 (527 pages, with a corrected second edition issued the same year by Frederick A. Praeger in New York). Avery, later Lecturer and Fellow in Persian Studies at King's College, Cambridge, and co-editor of the Cambridge History of Iran, traces Iranian history from the Qajar dynasty (1794-1925) through the Constitutional Revolution, Reza Shah's rise and reign, the Second World War, and into the White Revolution of Mohammad Reza Shah, with a substantial bibliography (pp. 507-514). Reviewed in the Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, New Blackfriars, and the Annals of the American Academy, the work was widely used as a standard university-level introduction to modern Iranian history through the 1960s-70s. Of relevance for the study of the broader historiographical and political context surrounding ta'zieh's twentieth-century transformation, Avery's treatment of the Qajar-to-Pahlavi transition and the religious establishment's shifting political role complements the more narrowly focused historical syntheses of Watson and Upton already catalogued in this collection, extending its coverage from the late Qajar era through the mid-twentieth-century White Revolution.
