| Abstract
|
:
|
Little is known about the Great Famine of 1869-1873, possibly the greatest calamity in the history of Iran. Using a variety of primary sources, including American missionary reports, this book describes and quantifies the devastation of the Great Famine of 1869-73 that killed 10-12 million Iranians, amounting to two-thirds of the population.
