The Shuster Mission to Iran:
Leaving Something Worthwhile Behind
by Joan Gaughan
In 1911 a young American accountant named Morgan Shuster went with his family to Iran to put its chaotic finances on a sound footing. Less than eight months later, under Russian and British pressure, he was forced to make a decision that would affect not only his mission but the fate of the country for decades to come.
Joan Gaughan tells the exciting story of Iran’s early attempt to maintain its fledgling parliamentary democracy in the face of entrenched resistance, tribal rebellions, and pressure from Western powers who stood to benefit by restoring the royal Qajar dynasty despite its decadence.
