IBNA: Speaking with IBNA, the books’ compiler, Gol-Ali Babaei, stated that the books cover the lives of martyrs Hemmat, Cheraghi and Karimi.

As he said, he has also worked on two other biographies on martyred commanders Mahmoud Shahbazi and Hussein Ghejei. The books will be unveiled in a ceremony slated for May 23.

The books are published as three new volumes of the 150-volume collection compiled on the biographies of great Sacred Defense commanders of the Islamic Republic of Iran army.

The collection’s first volume was released a while ago which was written for martyr Ahmad Motavaselian, added Babaei.

Entitled as 27X27, the collection focuses on commanders of Mohammad Rasoul Allah 27 Division. Each volume of the series contains 30 pictures of different life stages of the martyrs from their childhood until their martyrdom.

According to the collection’s compiler, the pictures are selected so carefully that only by looking at them one would easily learn about the lives of the martyrs without having to read through the book.
