The book is highly praised for offering a valuable and exceptionally honest account from Mohammad Sadr, a significant living witness to contemporary Iranian history. Reviewers commend Sadr as a pure-hearted, sincere, and honorable political figure, which is reflected in his memoirs described as candid and minimally censored. The book provides unique insights into sensitive historical periods, covering his roles in the Prime Minister's office under Mohammad-Ali Rajaei and important positions in the Foreign Ministry during the war. It also addresses complex historical issues, such as disagreements between Reza Sadr and Ayatollah Khomeini, and offers interesting perspectives on figures like Rajaei and Chamran. Even when readers might disagree with some of the author's analyses, his viewpoint is considered beneficial and enriching.
However, the main criticism leveled against the book concerns its structural imbalance. A substantial portion of the memoir is dedicated to the author's activities and struggles before the revolution, a period where his direct influence was not as significant. Reviewers suggest that a much greater volume should have been allocated to his more crucial and impactful roles within the Foreign Ministry, especially during the war, where he held more prominent positions and could have offered deeper insights.
Despite these structural criticisms, the book is ultimately regarded as a valuable historical document due to the author's unique and honest perspective. It is highly recommended for readers interested in contemporary Iranian history, particularly the early decades of the Islamic Republic and the inner workings of its government. This book would appeal to those seeking an insider's view from a figure known for his integrity, offering insights into political dynamics and key personalities, even if they might not concur with every interpretation presented.
