He also uses the memoirs of British military officers ... In Chapter 3 he provides an indication of the famine's toll by comparing the population of Persia in 1914 with that of 1919. In this he is meticulous and thorough in investigating both the pre-war and post-war population levels of Persia so that the true extent of the famine and its effect in decimating the population of the country can be accurately ascertained ... Majd uses contemporary estimates of the population levels by Europeans, election figures for the urban centres, and records of Morgan Shuster, the American Administrator-General for the Finances of Persia to show the true level of Persian population in 1914."</ref> *{{cite book|year=2013|title=The Great Famine & Genocide in Iran, 1917-1919, 2nd Edition|publisher=University Press of America}}

Main interestsHistory of Iran

Mohammad Gholi Majd (Persian: محمدقلی مجد), also known as Mohammad Gholi Madjd, is an agricultural economist and a historian. He has contributed to the fields of land tenure and distribution, agrarian policy, and the history of modern Iran. Majd has used the American diplomatic archives pertaining to Iran to provide a history of the under-studied period of 1914 to 1941. In addition, he is the author of a trilogy on Iran's three historical famines: The Great Famine of 1869-1873, the World War I famine of 1917-1919, and the World War II famine and typhus epidemic of 1942-1944, major calamities that, in the words of one reviewer, have been "often overlooked" and "largely forgotten",[2] or, as indicated by another reviewer, entirely relegated to oblivion.[3]

Majd obtained an MA in political economy from University of Saint Andrews, a post graduate diploma in economic development from University of Manchester, and an MA in agricultural economics also from University of Manchester. He earned a PhD in agricultural economics from Cornell University in 1978. In 2002, the Department of Agricultural Economics at Cornell University was renamed the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management. Majd taught economics at several American universities prior to concentrating on Iranian studies. He was a lecturer at the Middle East Center, University of Pennsylvania, from 1992 to 1998, and an adjunct professor at Kevorkian Center for Near Eastern Studies, New York University, from 1992 to 1997.[1]

Criticisms

Certain reviewers have criticised Majd's research. Ervand Abrahamian has described claims by Majd that the Persian famine of 1917-1919 was a genocide as being a "wild accusation" and that the figures put forward by Majd were an "exaggerated discussion".[4] Cormac Ó Gráda equally describes the claim of genocide as "not possible to take literally".[5] The authors Alidad Mafinezam and Aria Mehrabi in their work Iran and Its Place Among Nations have stated that Majd's work suffers from methodological defects, including a lack of triangulation.[6]

[T]he meticulous account of events provides a useful overview of the diplomatic and military moves of the various protagonists, also helps to dispel some popular myths, such as the myth of Reza Shah's pro-Nazi attitude. Even today, this myth is frequently put forward to justify the violation of Iran's sovereignty, however Majd's book shows there is no substance to the myth ... Majd has presented a useful book on an under-researched subject, which, as a first source of information or as a book of reference, can render good service to both scholars and students."

"Mohammad Gholi Majd's latest book, which deals with food shortages and famine in Iran during the Second World War, and his previous work looking at the famine conditions experienced in Iran during the First World War, are welcome for the attention that they focus on the much-neglected subject of the suffering of ordinary Iranians during the cataclysmic and often very violent upheavals ..."

"Historian Mohammad Gholi Majd draws attention to one of the most significant, yet often overlooked events in Iranian history in his third and most recent addition to his series on historical famines in Iran. Using a variety of primary sources, Majd provides a a detailed history of the largely forgotten catastrophe... A Victorian Holocaust is an ideal selection for those looking to examine one of the deadliest disasters of the 19th century through an original, historical, and perhaps controversial lens, in addition to readers who enjoyed Majd's first two books in the series."
