The historical memoirs of influential people in society are of particular importance for both studying and taking a lesson for the posterity; especially the memories that have emerged in order to fight against the oppression of tyrannical rulers such as the Pahlavis and in order to promote and achieve divine values and ideals. With such an attitude, the Center for Islamic Revolution Documents has published the memoirs of one of the current figures in the Iranian political scene in the years before and after the victory of the Islamic Revolution.
Hojjat al-Eslam va al-moslemin Seyed Hossein Hosseini is one of the companions of Imam Khomeini movement. At a young age, while learning Islamic sciences, he was involved in politics and struggles, and became one of the promoters of Imam Khomeini's movement.
