The Sacred Defense Works and Values Preservation and Publication Foundation will release a new oral history book based on Commander Ali Akbar-nejad’s war recollections.
IBNA: Author of Flight over Ghalavizan, Isa Jamali told IBNA that he has finished gathering the commander’s memories from the interview he had with him, and will have the book published by the Foundation.
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.
