February 6, 2022
This will be my first review regarding Imperial Iran, after more than a decade of reading. What propelled me all this while was, this reflection from a blogger;
'If there's no Iranian Revolution, by now we will see mass market products dominated by Made in Iran, instead of Made in China'.
I never see this kind of opinion before. It left me with wonders. With this book, I concluded that it would be a big possibility IF, AIOC (Anglo Iranian Oil Company) practiced fair play and absolute professionalism in their conduct with Iran; way back to the period prior to 1933 Concession agreement. Even if that happened as late as after the oil nationalization in 50s under the premiership of Dr Mossadegh.
* Do you know that AIOC brought the oil nationalization case to The Hague? It was even brought to the UN Security Council? Ridiculous isn't?
* Read the UN Security Council about this proceeding. It's the most interesting. Dr Mossadegh himself headed the Iranian delegation during the debate.
I never thought a memoir with intricate details on Iranian oil and gas history would be so absorbing and engrossing. It's a superbly written book, with insiders' perspective on the eclipse of Shah Qajar; to the rise and fall of Pahlavi dynasty. I'm very much sympathize with Iran for all she had gone through. Never a British colony but treated worse. Being chosen as a place of world intrigue.
* Do you know that British & Russia chose
Persia as their battleground? It contributed to a very large degree, the fall off, the last Shah of Qajar dynasty.
It's the most important book to read, for those who want EMOTIONAL and PSYCHOLOGICAL UNDERSTANDING of why Iranian Islamic Revolution happened at the first place. It threw me a new light and perspective. Lots of happenings in Iran pre revolution beginning to make sense to me.
Immediately after the introduction, the main author wrote his adventurous account of escaping from the Khomeini's regime Wanted List through a Kurdish populated Rezaiyeh, near the border of Iran-Turkey. He ventured through a snow-laden mountain by horses and a mule; with an opium smuggler as his fellow escapee. This, decidedly hooked me up to the rest of the book till the end.
Manucher Mirza Farmanfarmaian was a director of concession, oil and mining in Finance Ministry at one time. Rests assured that he had a deep knowledge of what he wrote, when he lamented AIOC bullying attitude towards Iran. It's very fortunate that he chose to share his knowledge.
- AIOC was the largest private employer in Iran.Very wide discrepancies existed between British expats and locals Iranian worker of the oilfields which, in breach of agreement with Iranian government. The blue collars had no electricity, running water in staff quarters. Wages 50 cents a day, no medical or disability benefits, no sick or annual leaves. There's even 4000 applications for Palestinian untrained workers to be approved at one time. Was Iran had zero unemployment that AIOC needed to import foreign untrained workers? Look like they didn't want Iranian to benefit AT ALL from petroleum found beneath the Persian motherland. Unsatisfactory life-working condition led to strike and riot; susceptible to the influence of communist (Tudeh Party). Guess who got the blame and who got the most profit?
- AIOC accused Iranian government of being ill-informed when they, themselves closed the accounting book from being scrutinized by government officials. Citing one reason after another.
- They offered low royalty. 4 shilling per barrel, not reflecting the inflation and market price. That's the lowest rates among oil producing countries. In comparison, American oil company (those so called robber barons) paid 50 percent profit to Venezuela.
- They paid Iran only AFTER they had paid British tax. Fair or not? They operated in your country. After payment of tax to THEIR government, you could expect your payment of royalties. Tell me what you think. Is that the right business practice?
- Iran shares of royalties were shelved together with British war pools at one time. That pool money was meant for British overseas company that exceeded certain profit amount for war purpose. It should exclude Iran's. British administration had even gave AIOC's chairman; discretion to pay the accrued amount to Iran. He didn't. He took a flight to Tehran, delivered ultimatum for an extended 60 years concession and return back to England next day.
Even though Dr Mossadegh was the first cousin to the author, he got sacked because he opposed oil nationalization. His reason was, by nationalization, Iran lost any future probable claim to any profit made by subsidiaries of AIOC. He believed Iran had a right to it as those companies were set-up using profit from Iranian soils. Fearing arrest, he exiled himself in US and support himself giving series of nationwide lectures about middle east. After few years, he returned and appointed as the sales director of National Iranian Oil Company. Later, he was posted to Venezuela as ambassador.
*AIOC used it's profits to form subsidiaries operating in other middle eastern countries.
Of course this book was not all about oil. I stressed more to oil because it's largely intertwined with the destiny of modern Iran. It set back the development of this country for almost 5 decades; before the settlement on oil nationalization. That's easily covered 3 generations. By the time Iran prospered by oil wealth, it wasn't fully appreciated by her people because of those scars and damage done by international oil politics.
This book was beautifully written with prose and poems by Hafez (the great Persian poet), adorned the beginning of each chapter. Reading this was like having an epic journey to the lost world of Imperial Iran. Vivid reminiscence and emotional depictions of scenes. There are a lot of anecdotes along the way, if that's what you are looking for. There's plenty of old pictures of Farmanfarmaian households stacked in the middle of the book. It's priceless. A nostalgia of bygone era.
I think, being born a Farmanfarmaian enabled the author to see things from multiple point of views. Royals, aristocrats, political, tribes, landowners, pheasant, agricultural, technocrat, administrator among others. The advantage of birth-rank and being well-connected.
Blood and Oil is a book that I wanted to have the physical copy. It's an absolute keepsake. Luckily, I picked up this marvelous piece of writing. It definitely deserved to become a finalist of Pen/West Award. All these times, I always feel something lacking in my reading of Iran. With this, I found the right key. I definitely recommend this for those cared enough to understand why Iran behaved liked that. It's even relevant today.
Some notes.
* Farman Farma was a royal title bestowed by Shah. It meant Commander of the Chief Commanders. In my opinion, equivalent to the rank of Marshall of France in Napoleonic French Empire.
* Under the reign of Shah Reza, each family need to choose a surname. His father chose Farmanfarmaian to reflect his royal title.
* Reza Shah, the first Emperor of Pahlavi dynasty was a soldier in command of his father's regiment at one time.
* The main author Manucher Mirza Farmanfarmaian was a member of the most distinguished family in Iran. He was a second cousin to Ahmad Shah Qajar, who reign the peacock throne at the time of his birth.
* He left the household at the age of 9, to enroll a boarding school in England.
* Nosrat Doleh, his eldest brother, a former finance minister had been executed by Shah Reza. His father, a former PM, Prince Abdol Hossein had passed away, leaving him in immediate financial limbo to finish his studies; if not for the generosity of an English mechanic family.
* Muzaffar, his brother was a DPM under the premiership of Qavam Saltaneh.
* Armed with a degree in Petroleum Engineering from University of Birmingham, he made his way back to his motherland.
*He was a main signatory of OPEC blueprint.
*Differed from other countries, ambassadors of Iran was Shah's appointment, to personally represented the Emperor. It's equal in rank of cabinet minister.
* He returned from his ambassadorial posting in Venezuela just 1 or 2 years before revolution.
* Unlike others on Khomeini's wanted list which was specified by exact names, his family was listed broadly as Farmanfarmaian, means any of them young and old. He was having a conversation when the authority came to arrest his brother, Rashid. He barely escaped. That's when he decided to leave Iran forever.

I highly recommend this book to the Iranian people and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of contemporary Iranian history.
Titled "Blood and Oil," the book may sound technical, but it encompasses much more than just the intricacies of oil and its associated conflicts. It offers profound insights into a country that has struggled to grow in comparison to the West.
The author provides an aristocratic perspective, guiding readers step by step through the challenges and pains endured by the Iranian people. It explores the significant events surrounding oil nationalization and highlights the difficulties in breaking free from the influence of great powers, which often resisted these changes. This context brings relevance to the current situation in Iran, regardless of the government鈥檚 ideology.
Additionally, the book addresses the profound loss of valuable national assets and skilled individuals during the revolution, illustrating how challenging it is to regain such expertise afterward.
I believe this book presents a unique perspective on the complexities of Iran and offers insights on how to mitigate or minimize future losses as the nation seeks to reestablish itself as a global player.
Furthermore, it highlights how abrupt societal changes, despite their potential benefits, can have severe side effects in the long term.

This is an insider's view of the Pahlevi era in Iran with significant digressions into the formation of OPEC and the early history of BP. Though as an American I spotted a few slight inaccuracies regarding American history, there's no reason to doubt the book's overall veracity.
Recommended for:
* nuanced view of the collapse of the Iranian monarchy
* insights into Iranian character
* more anecdotes to support my deep personal bias against the English
* more confirmation of hopeless American naivete when dealing with different cultures
* details on the savagery of the Iranian Revolution
The author is essentially honest, competent and patriotic but evidently proud enough to cause problems from time to time.

What an interesting insider's perspective on Iran's 20th-century history. Details the loyalties and distrust that were characteristic of its elite political class. Also gives a solid understanding of British and American undermining of Iran's sovereignty throughout recent history, especially in negotiating fairer oil concessions. A superbly written and engrossing account of the late Qajar and Pahlavi periods.

OK, this is a really long and detailed book, a memoir from a member of one of Iran's most elite families who was heavily involved both with politics and oil. If you want to understand the more about the politics of oil (and governments' meddling with it), this is the book to read. He helped to start OPEC.
This is the story of how the British government-majority owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (now BP) f......d Iran at every opportunity. It is also the story of how that oil money changed Iran, American/British involvement, and how those changes led to the Shah's resignation and the Islamic Revolution led by Ayatollah Khomeini.
It's a great story--told from the perspective of an aristocrat who while he plays with most elite leaders, repeatedly goes in and out of favor with the government. It is a detailed memoir, very long and may be too much for the reader just try to understand Iran's relationship with Britain/U.S.

Excellent primer on the Petro-politics of Iran and the revolution from the prospective of an inside player who has shaped much of the oil economy today.
Also a very interesting view of an Islamic polygamous household.
