There are seven folders of material covering the draft manuscript and research notes for a book that Cloake intended to publish on the events leading up to Azerbaijan Crisis of 1945-47, the crisis itself, and its aftermath. According to the donor, his book was researched during Cloake's time at the London School of Economics, 1972-1973.

The papers consist of two sets of manuscripts and notes:

• Draft Manuscript and Notes towards a book on the Azerbaijan Crisis
• Draft Manuscript and Notes for a book on Old Tehran made by John Cecil Cloake and Margaret Cloake during his posting to Tehran with allied Correspondence.
