Mohammad Gholi Majd’s latest book, which deals with food shortages and famine in Iran during the Second World War, and his previous work looking at the famine conditions experienced in Iran during the First World War, are welcome for the attention threat they focus on the much-neglected subject of the suffering of ordinary Iranians during the cataclysmic and often very violent upheavals which accompanied the arrival of modernity in Iran and the county’s incorporation into the emerging global economic and political systems…. Majd’s book, therefore, contributes to recent efforts to look beyond the concerns of the political elite in Tehran, who were not only remarkably unmoved by the spectacle of mass starvation but were themselves avid hoarders and speculators, towards the profound struggle for survival which the population of Iran was obliged to wage unceasingly and often unsuccessfully…. The book is therefore useful for researchers…[and] for methodological exercises for History Students.
