Gar mard rahī mīan khun bayad raft...Qiyam-i 18 tīr Niqab-i Nuzhih: Persian 2015

In July 1980, several hundred active-duty and retired nationalist Iranian high ranking officers and paratroopers made their way to the Noujeh air-force base near the city of Hamadan to initiate a military revolt against Iran’s newly established Islamic republic regime. The Iranian government had learned of the plot (later to refer to it as Noujeh coup d’e´tat), and many of the officers were arrested as they arrived at the base. Those arrested were soon put on trial, and many were executed. To this date many accounts of the revolt have been given by researchers as well as individuals involved in it. Now in a new book written by Colonel Mohammad Baqer Bani-Ameri, the man at the centre of planning and execution of the revolt reveals the true story behind it from the start to the finish. “I decided to write this book while battling with cancer so the future generation of my beloved country of Iran get to know how heroically their forefathers fought to avoid the rule of the current religious dictatorship in Iran by giving their precious lives”.
