Empire of Enchantment
The Assyrians in World War One and the 1933 Massacre
The recent discovery of a bundle of documents in the archives of the Royal Society for Asian Affairs has shed more light on the history of the Assyrian Christians of Iraq from the time of the First World War up to the Simele massacre in 1933. The documents are accounts and correspondence written primarily by a number of leading British players including Major-General Dunsterville, Sir Henry Dobbs, Colonel J.J. McCarthy, and also the Assyrian Patr…

Letters From the Rsaa Archive
In 2004 a collection of thirty-four letters from the Silk Road explorer Sir Aurel Stein was found in the archives of the Royal Society for Asian Affairs and catalogued, although not transcribed or studied. Neither of Stein's biographers, Jeannette Mirsky (published 1977), nor Annabel Walker (published 1995) knew about these letters, and there are no references to them in more recent publications either. What is perhaps even more interesting is th…

The British Raj and the British Mandate in Iraq
Nearly a century before the 2003 invasion, the western powers, in the form of the British, were required to form a government of Iraq following the occupation of the region in the First World War.

This article examines the historical links between Iraq and India, how Indian templates of government were imposed on Iraq…

The city of Lucknow, once described as last example of the old pomp and refinement of Hindustan, still remains one of the most interesting cities of north India. This lively urban history presents a panorama of the political, cultural, and architectural life of Lucknow during its heyday: from the ascendancy of the first nawab in the early 18th century to the deposition of the last nawab in 1856. Focusing on the architecture itself and the particu…

The Curious Tale of a Lawrence Medal
