[ ABOUT THE BOOK ] Persian Gulf Command: A History of the Second World War in Iran and Iraq Book by Ashley Jackson | Ashley Jackson's history examines the Second World War in Iran and Iraq, a theatre he presents as more important to Allied operations than is commonly acknowledged. During the crucial months of 1941-42, Winston Churchill ranked the Middle East second in importance only to the British Isles. Iran and Iraq mattered for their oil and as a land bridge to the Soviet allies, and the region was the first theatre in which the United States, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union fought alongside one another. | The book sets out to give a comprehensive account of the war's experience and impact in both countries. It investigates Allied grand strategy and diplomatic manoeuvres, placing the military activity across the region within the conflict's wider course. It also considers how the theatre served as a seedbed for international ties and tensions that shaped the twentieth century. (MP). …

- All Things Military, Military Specific Wars and Conflicts
This dynamic history is the first to construct a total picture of the experience and impact of World War II in Iran and Iraq. Contending that these two countries were more important to the Allied forces’ war operations than has ever been acknowledged, historian Ashley Jackson investigates the grand strategy of the Allies and their operations in the region and the continuing legacy of Western intervention in the Middle East.
Iran and Iraq served as the first WWII theater in which the U.S., the U.K., and the U.S.S.R. fought alongside each other. Jackson charts the intense Allied military activity in Iran and Iraq and reveals how deeply the war impacted common people’s lives. He also provides revelations about the true nature of Anglo-American relations in the region, the beginnings of the Cold War, and the continuing corrosive legacy of Western influence in these lands.
