Memoirs of first decade after revolution to be published
23 January 2013
The Islamic Revolution Literature Bureau will publish a series of memoirs about the first ten years after the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran.
IBNA: The collection is entitled as “I say it for the sake of Historyâ€, and is penned by Saeid Allamian. The works will be published by Soure Mehr Publishing Company.
Hedayatollah Behboudi, manager of the Islamic Revolution Literature Bureau, has said that the collection is being prepared with the aim of filling the gap in the historical documents and collections about the first years of Iran after the victory of the Islamic Revolution.
“The first decade after the revolution was marked with various important events in Iran’s history like the Sacred Defense and many other ups and downs,†said Behboudi.
“We began working on the collection with two volumes encompassing memories of Mohsen Rafighdoust and Javad Mansouri. The volumes will be published as accounts about the events from the view points of two prominent revolutionary figures.â€
Rafighdoust's memoir is important due to certain features; one is that it took Saeid Allamian three years to interview and gather data about Mr. Rafighdoust given his business and cramped daily programs.
Another feature of the book is Mr. Rafighdoust’s frankness in telling his memories which has made the book attractive for readers. The other important feature of the book is the Mr. Rafighdoust was one of those who was in the closest contact with revolutionary events in those years.
Mohsen Rafighdoust was the chief of Imam Khomeini's security detail in 1979 during the Iranian Revolution, and helped found the Revolutionary Guards Corp who helped eliminate opposition to theocratic rule in the Islamic Republic.

After Operation Fat’h al-Mobin, we traveled to Kermanshah and visited Sar-e-Pol-e-Zahab before heading to Ilam. During Operation Beit al-Moqaddas, the 27th Brigade was still receiving support from the West. We maintained contact with individuals who had previously worked in Area 7 and were now leading the brigade. It was through these connections that I learned about Operation Beit al-Moqaddas.Memoirs of Hujjat al-Islam Reza Motalebi
Hujjat al-Islam Reza Motalebi is a cleric from Isfahan. Before the revolution, he was the imam of the Fallah Mosque – which was later renamed Abuzar Mosque. By his presence and efforts, Abuzar Mosque soon became a base for supporters of the Imam and the revolution. After the victory of the revolution, he played a role in uniting forces and maintaining political vitality in southwest Tehran.The Necessity of Receiving Feedback in Oral History
Whenever we engage in a task, we naturally seek ways to evaluate our performance — to correct shortcomings and enhance strengths. Such refinement is only possible through the feedback we receive from others. Consider, for instance, a basketball player whose shots are consistently accurate; should he begin shooting blindfolded, his success rate would rapidly decline, as he would be deprived of essential feedback from each attempt.
