Written principally as an introduction, for Americans, to Persian hunting culture rather than a practical guide to hunting". Hunting in Persia is not a travelogue guide book, nor a factual expert sports-hunting book. Neither is it an authoritative sui generis 'Inside Book' nor a novel, but is a unique rendition of human interest experiences with a humble flare toward cementing of friendships through mutual amusement, through a subject that all Iranians love". Chapters include: Persia: Iran "History in a nutshell"; The wild-life of Iran; Persian hunting psychology; The gazelle hunt; The boar hunt; The tiger hunt; The pheasant hunt; The big-horn wild sheep hunt; Cultural hunting in Persia; Memorabilia; The need for wise statesmanship; Suggested guide lines for Americans in Persia (Iran); The need of faith, hope and charity; The declaration of human rights.
