Books on the Qajars (Kadjars)

 

In recent years, a whole panoply of books on Iran and on the Qajars (Kadjars) was published, and this flurry of interest and activity is most welcome, since for many years, the books on Qajar (Kadjar) Persia and on the Qajar (Kadjar) Dynasty could be counted on the fingers of one hand.
