Reza Mohajerinejad offers an eloquent, eyewitness account of the courageous student movement that sprang up in July 1999 and its ongoing impact to this day, when its themes of a secular democratic Iran have been embraced by millions in the ongoing Green Movement.  Imprisoned, tortured, exiled, but unbowed, his gripping story provides deep and moving insight into the activists, their actions, and thoughts as central protagonists in Iran's long revolutionary history, and its hopeful future.

I have known Mr. Mohajerinejad since 1998. I was regularly in touch with him in the spring and summer of 1999. There is authenticity in his memoirs and recollections of the student movement from those critical months preceding and following the fateful events in July 1999. This is an invaluable book that provides the personal account of one of the student leaders about the founding of student pro-democracy movement as a pivotal event in the contemporary history of Iran.
