Scarce first edition of this celebrated book through the eyes of a Persian journalist, of the Algerian Revolution, a major armed conflict between France and the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN) from 1954 to 1962, which led to Algeria winning its independence from France.

Although the book emphasizes the “men” independence warriors, also it gives a vast place to the female warriors. A portrait of one of the female warriors named Jamila is celebrated and commemorated on the rear cover. The book also examines in depth Iran's aid and support to Algeria during the Independence War against French colonialism and imperialism. It is an important source for Iran-Algeria relations.
