The book gives a description of the armed forces of one of the main geopolitical opponents of Russia in the Caucasus - Persia (Iran) at the end of the XNUMXth - the first third of the XNUMXth century. Based on archival and published sources, the authors consider both the traditional military institutions of Iran (the Shah's guard, tribal cavalry, foot militia and camel artillery) and the initial stage of military reforms according to Western European models (the structure of the regular army - infantry, cavalry and artillery). Questions such as the size and leadership of the army, the provision of weapons, uniforms and food, the quartering and tactics of the Persian troops are being studied. Particular attention is paid to the role of deserters and prisoners of the Russian army as "teachers" in the new Persian army. The book is addressed to a wide readership: to teachers and students of universities, as well as to all those interested in the military history of Russia and Iran.
