Akbar-nejad was one of the commanders of the Division 25 of Karbala during Sacred Defense and was present in many major operations like Karbala V and Valfajr VIII.
He is currently the tactical commander of Sepah in Tehran, Hamedan and various other provinces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Jamali also said that he went through 50 hours of interviews with the Akbar-nejad and other figures like commanders Taghi Mehri, Morteza Ghorbani and Kohansal Komeil (all Akbar-nejad’s comrades) to garner the needed data for completion of the book.
Jamali has not yet reached a firm decision about the book’s title.
The book is arranged in 200 pages and each of its chapters covers a part of the commander’s life.

Omissions in the Editing of Oral History
After the completion of interview sessions, the original recordings are archived, the interviews are transcribed, proofread, and re-listened to. If the material possesses the qualities required for publication in the form of an article or a book, the editing process must begin. In general, understanding a verbatim transcription of an interview is often not straightforward and requires editing so that it may be transformed into a fluent, well-documented text that is easy to comprehend.100 Questions/8

This concept may manifest in material forms, abstract notions, and even human emotions and lived experiences. In other words, an object encompasses a vast spectrum of beings and phenomena, each endowed with particular attributes and characteristics, and apprehensible in diverse modalities.100 Questions/6
