Books by Ali M. Ansari

Ansari makes the claim that Britain's strength lies in its ability of shape the popular imagination, both at home and abroad, and that an `excess of enthusiasm' may yet do untold damage to the fabric of a state and society that has been carefully constructed and will not be easily repaired.

the book looks at the increasing polarity of views and the changing nature of 'reformism' in light of successive setbacks and growing international tensions.

Distinguished historian Ali M. Ansari explores ideas about nationalism and how they apply to twentieth-century Iran.

Presents an account of a potential flashpoint between the Muslim world and the West following the Islamic Republic of Iran's nuclear programme that provoked a major crisis in its relations with the US and other Western powers.
