Jack Taylor is an independent researcher and historian with an interest in the intersections between labour movements, decolonisation and post-war British economic policy. He holds a PhD in History from University College London, UK.
"""Oil, Nationalism and British Policy in Iran convincingly makes the case that Britain's postwar reconstruction was tied to oil imperialism in the Middle East. Through extensive archival research, Taylor demonstrates how British government policy consistently aimed to maintain imperial assets in Iran and laid foundations for the 1953 coup."" --Mattin Biglari, Lecturer in Asian and Middle Eastern Environmental History, University of Bristol, UK"
