My Share of those Beautiful Eyes to Be Unveiled
23 June 2012
The website of the Iranian Oral History reports that the book My Share of those Beautiful Eyes, SardÄr (Brigadier-General) Hamid HesÄm`s oral memoirs written by MostafÄ Rahimi, was published by the Provincial Bureaus for Resistance Studies and Literature of Hoze Honari (Art Center) in cooperation with Mehr Publications. The book is to be unveiled on the 6th of Tir, 1391 (the 26th of June, 2012), at the presence of a number of authors, researchers, and the military generals of the Imposed War at Mehr Hall at Hoze Honari.
Born in 1340 (1961) in HamedÄn, Hamid HesÄm joined military forces at the 32nd “AnsÄr al-Hossein†Division as soon as the War broke out. He graduated with an M.A. in Persian literature from Tehran University.
HesÄm has written many books on the subject of the Sacred Defence, among which are The Frogman Smells of Spearmint and The Secret of the Red Gem. As his last job in the field of resistance literature, he served as the Deputy Director of the Foundation for Preservation of Monuments and Dissemination of Values of the Sacred Defence. He is now the Scientific Secretary of the 1st Festival of Sacred Defense Memory Writing.
The book My Share of those Beautiful Eyes recounts the events which occurred during Hamid HesÄm`s early days in the war zone in Sar-e Pol-e ZahÄb and continues to retell up unto to his last days in the same zone. Although he was a B.A. student at Tehran University, he continued to be fight regularly and finally had the honor of being a veteran. This military side of his character has been overshadowed by his cultural side during the past years; this book is therefore an attempt to accentuate this specific dimension of his character as well.
My Share of those Beautiful Eyes is to be unveiled at a ceremony held at Mehr Hall at the Iranian Art Center of the Organization for Islamic Propagation, a building located near Sommayeh Street, on HÄfez Avenue, Tehran.

A section of the memories of a freed Iranian prisoner; Mohsen Bakhshi
Programs of New Year HolidaysWithout blooming, without flowers, without greenery and without a table for Haft-sin , another spring has been arrived. Spring came to the camp without bringing freshness and the first days of New Year began in this camp. We were unaware of the plans that old friends had in this camp when Eid (New Year) came.
Attack on Halabcheh narrated
With wet saliva, we are having the lunch which that loving Isfahani man gave us from the back of his van when he said goodbye in the city entrance. Adaspolo [lentils with rice] with yoghurt! We were just started having it when the plane dives, we go down and shelter behind the runnel, and a few moments later, when the plane raises up, we also raise our heads, and while eating, we see the high sides ...The Arab People Committee
Another event that happened in Khuzestan Province and I followed up was the Arab People Committee. One day, we were informed that the Arabs had set up a committee special for themselves. At that time, I had less information about the Arab People , but knew well that dividing the people into Arab and non-Arab was a harmful measure.Kak-e Khak
