The book Long Leg Boots is a collection of memories of Ghasem Abbasi, a brave Iranian fighter in one of the destruction battalions at the battlefront. The book talks about the destruction of the battalion and the fighters who lived their lives in the destruction battalion of the 27th Mohammad (PBUH) army division. Ghasem Abbasi is the narrator and author of the book. During several years, he has gradually recreated the memories and has written all the memories he has recalled. Nearly 40 memories that relate to the spirit, character, and living with the martyrs and warriors are presented in this book. A highlight of the book is the photographs of almost all of the mentioned people and each person’s name is indicated below each photo. The characteristics of this work make it a kind of snapshot memoir style. The simultaneous presentation of the photo and the memoir in this book is an innovation that creates a special attraction for the audience. Also, retelling the memories in a plain and beautiful language from the perspective of a teenager who has his own naughtiness, creates a strong sense of self-identification in the audience’s mind. The book is free of any repetition and slogans and that makes the work more impressive. Some-times, the memoirs in the book are depicted so beautifully and pleasantly that the audience does not feel they are reading the war events and think they are reading the memoirs of a person who has been at military and friendly camp. Moreover, some of the pages of the book are free from the description of the war scenes and focus on ethi-cal points, and that has added to the beauty of the work. Another positive feature of this work is the realistic at-mosphere of the book and the brevity of the stories.
