Excerpt from Hossein Yekta’s Preface:

For five years I had intended to document my memoirs. This resolve strengthened particularly after His Eminence Ayatollah Khamenei (may God protect him) emphasized that a warrior’s battle remains incomplete until his memories are recorded. In my oral accounts, I had already shared all I knew about my comrades’ valor, their solitude, and their oppressed state. By writing these memoirs, I sought to capture the untold aspects of these brothers – their manner of worship, their bond of brotherhood, their way of life during war. A way of being whose absence is profoundly felt in the lives of today’s youth.

I hope this book, which represents but a fraction of my comrades’ jihad in response to Imam Khomeini’s (RA) call – as the deputy of Imam Mahdi (AJ) – will find favor with him. And on the Day of Regret, may my martyred comrades take my hand. These are the friends I saw again within these pages during interviews and memory sessions – with whom I fought, took cover, was wounded, prayed, laughed, joked, kissed, and whose scent I remembered… only to stand again and watch them depart. Once more, I am alone. My soul overflows with solitude and longing… with regret for the heavens.

May this book serve as a bridge between me and my martyred friends. A bridge for all who thirst and seek truth. A bridge to the sky.
