The book “Haj Ahmad,” by Muhammad Hussain Alijanzade, is about martyr Ahmad Kazemi in 344 pages. This book is divided into three chapters that detail Ahmad Kazemi's life from his birth to his martyrdom.

Ahmad Kazemi, the head of the IRGC ground forces, was born in 1958 in Najafabad. He had devoted his entire life to serving on the front lines of war. He is without a doubt regarded as one of the most well-known and formidable commanders of the holy defense. Due to a plane crash near Urmia on January 9, 2006, Ahmed Kazemi joined his fellow martyred companions.

One of Muhammad Hussein Alijanzadeh's intentions for writing the book of Haj Ahmad was his personal interest in martyr Ahmad Kazemi. Martyr Kazemi, he observed, was incredibly inventive, creative, and considerate of others. With his strategy, wisdom, and intelligence he protected Islam and our borders.

This author stated that he had spent more than 150 hours interviewing people about the martyr Kazemi, ranging from family members to friends, comrades, brothers, and nephews. He had been researching printed works and documents for roughly six years.

He stated that Haj Qassem Soleimani was reading his book, and he added: "I reported to him the process of writing the book in the meeting I had with him in Qom.  Haj Qasem was supposed to attend the unveiling ceremony for this book on January 19, the anniversary of Haj Ahmad Kazemi's martyrdom, but due to Sardar's brutal murder in the Baghdad Airport assassination on January 13, the unveiling could not take place.

He claimed to have retold most of the key memories in the book, and "Haj Ahmad" is written in a narrative documentary style.
