Abstract	Despite growing interest in the Baha’is of Iran, research on the history of this often-persecuted minority community has been limited by the availability of sources. The Baha’is of Iran, Transcaspia and the Caucasus will help to fill this gap by assembling for the first time original material from Russian archives. Volume 1 of this set showcases letters from the Rozen collection, including those of diplomats, army officers and scholars, candidly revealing the Russian perspective on developments concerning the Baha’is in Iran and Russia. In addition to the complete texts in their original languages, the authors provide both annotated translations and analytical introductions which supply essential background information, thus making this book an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Babi and Baha’i history, the history of religion and minorities, Russo-Persian relations or Qajar Iran. Volume 2 of this collection documents from the Russian standpoint the dramatic Babi upheavals, the persecution of Babis and Baha’is in Iran, and events including the landmark Ashgabat murder trial. This volume thus provides fascinating insights into the perspective of one of the players of the 'Great Game' in the region, making this book an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Babi and Baha’i history, the history of religion and minorities, Russo-Persian relations or Qajar Iran.
