"George Alfred Jean Ducrocq (1874‒1927) was France’s military attaché in Tehran in 1919‒21. Hélène Hoppenot, née Delacour (1894‒1990), was the wife of Henri Hoppenot, who served as the French chargé d’affaires in the Iranian capital in the same years. Both wrote private diaries during their stay in Iran. Yann Richard has resurrected these writings—and their authors—by publishing them in a flawlessly edited version accompanied by informative commentary and followed by a 100-page prosopography covering all of Iran’s major political figures of the period. Ducrocq and Hoppenot’s observations offer insight into many hidden corners of Iran’s history immediately following World War I and leading up to Reza Khan’s coup of 1921, a period that remains curiously understudied."[..] "The edition under review should invite scholars to incorporate the French archives next time they write about this period. No one working on Vosuq al-Dowla, Starroselsky or Reza Khan in his run-up to power can henceforth afford to overlook this material.Rudi Matthee, University of Delaware, in Iranian Studies, 2016
