There are two parallel stories in this book. The first is the story of an Iraqi officer who is also a tank driver called Amer. He loves a girl in Basra, and his friend Nayef also fancies her and is actually his love rival. He loves tanks and shooting and goes to the battlefront. At the front, Nayef, along with 17 other Iraqi soldiers, are captured by Iranian fighters. To eliminate Nayef, he shoots all of the people in that group and kills Nayef. The other story is about Alishir, an Iranian nomadic child who goes to the front. He also loves his aunt’s daughter. He is an adoles-cent Iranian commander and captures a few Iraqis during an operation, and Nayef, Amer’s love rival, is among them. Alishir is martyred by tank shrapnel that Amer shoots at them to kill Nayef. The book contains two parallel stories about Alishir, the Iranian commander and a member of Iranian nomadic tribes, and Amer, the Iraqi soldier. At the crossroads of these two stories, Alishir becomes the victim of the Iraqi soldier’s love revenge and gets martyred. The author, using a very passionate and fluent language, takes the read-er to an atmosphere to believe everything and keep pace with the story. The novel is set up in 8 chapters and each chapter is separated from the previous chapter with delicately designed small illustrations.

Mohammad Mahmoudi Nourabadi The Iranian writer, Mohammad Mahmoud Norabadi, has been interested in writing since adolescence. He went to the battlefront at a very young age and as a result of that period, most of his works are based on the subject of war. He is extremely interested in describing the social and cultural structures of the Iranian nomadic tribes, which the author himself is from one of them. Therefore, in all his works, there are streaks of describing and ex-plaining the life and customs of the nomadic tribes. His first work was titled Wild Pears and thereafter, he wrote a number of other novels that were often praised and acclaimed by literary critics and circles.
