About the author

Ali M. Ansari is the founder and director of the Institute for Iranian Studies at St Andrews University and the president of the British Institute for Persian Studies.

Summary

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.
