Martin Middle East Studies Program Indiana University The publication of the U.S. State Department Central Files from 1945 to 1954 opens major research opportunities in Middle East studies. In particular, the years 1945 to 1954 represent­ ed for Iran a decade of tumultuous change, a period of intense struggle by both foreign and internal forces for control of that nation’s future. Now, for the first time, researchers can have convenient access to over 60,000 pages of previously unpublished primary materials on the history of modern Iran. The definitive source of American diplomatic reporting on the political, social, military, and economic developments in Iran during this period, the State Department Central Files provide comprehensive and detailed coverage of Iran’s internal and foreign affairs. The thousands of official and authoritative reports collected here will make this rich set of materials the standard documentary resource for future studies in the area. The State Department Central Files cover every facet of modern Iranian history. Although scholars have used these files at the National Archives for several years, the files have never been published in any format— until now. Our convenient microfilm edition makes available for the first time over 60,000 pages of invaluable source materials: special reports on political and military affairs; studies and statistics on socioeconomic matters; interviews and minutes of meetings with government officials; court proceedings and other legal documents; full texts of important letters and cables sent and received by U.S. diplomatic personnel; voluminous reports and translations from journals and newspapers; and countless translations of high-level government documents, including speeches, memoranda, official reports, and transcripts of political meetings and assemblies. Published in cooperation with the National Archives and Records Administration, these records document the history of Iran in extensive detail.
