TEHRAN -- A book featuring memories of war veteran Seyyed Abolfazl Kazemi was recently released by the Sureh-Mehr Publications.

Entitled “Naqqash-ha Alley”, the book penned by Raheleh Saburi contains Kazemi’s memoirs from the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war.
The book was unveiled at the Mehr Hall during a ceremony attended by Islamic Ideology Dissemination Organization (IIDO) Director Hojjatoleslam Seyyed Mehdi Khamushi and officials.
“I read this book in less than three days and believe that it is an interesting readable book that truthfully narrates the war,” Khamushi mentioned during the ceremony.
He called the book a spiritual heritage which should be read by all Iranians. “We do not wish to return to the days of the war but we should have those days in our minds.”
Two other books on the Iran-Iraq war published by the Sureh-Mehr Publications, the war memoirs of martyr Mohammad-Hassan Nazarnejad “Baba Nazar” and recollections by Seyyedeh Zahra Hosseini of the early days of the war “Da”, were both on the list of bestsellers in Iran.
