Three volumes of the 5-volume collection of Dr. Sadegh Tabatabaei's socio-political memoirs have been published, titled "Iranian Student Movement", "Lebanon, Imam Sadr and the Palestinian Revolution", and "The Formation of the Islamic Revolution of Iran". The first volume of this 5-volume collection, titled "Iranian Student Movement", focuses on Sadegh Tabatabaei's biography and family position in the fields of religion, society, and politics, his education in Germany, the socio-political movement of Persian-speaking Islamic student associations abroad, and the role of the late Seyyed Ahmad Khomeini in the formation of the Islamic Revolution. The book is organized into six chapters: Family Background and Education, Political, Social and Student Activities, Confederation of Iranian Students and Alumni, After the 15th of Khordad in Iran, Union of Islamic Student Associations in Europe, and Forgotten Role. On page 106 of the book "Iranian Student Movement," it is stated: During one of the trips when I went to the Imam and explained the activities of the Islamic student associations, I said that we were in severe financial difficulties and that our expenses were very high. Most of our expenses were related to printing books and pamphlets. The Imam said that I would provide them. I spoke with Mr. Doaei in this regard and money was transferred to us through Beirut and with the Imam's assistance we could set up a printing house. The second volume of this series, titled "Lebanon, Imam Sadr and the Palestinian Revolution", is organized into four chapters with the titles Travel to Lebanon, In Lebanon, Conversations and Letters of Dr. Chamran, and Documents. This book includes the memoirs of Sadeq Tabatabaei of Lebanon and Imam Musa Sadr, Dr. Mustafa Chamran, the Palestinian Revolution, and their relationship with Imam Khomeini (RA) and the revolution of 1979. At the beginning of the book "Lebanon, Imam Sadr and the Palestinian Revolution", an article titled "Enduring Instruction" is published, which includes the advice of Imam Musa Sadr to Sadeq Tabatabaei on his way to Germany to continue his studies. In part of this article, we read: One must study; one must be a man of society; at the same time, one can be a religious man! All of these come together. Rather, all of these are one path. The peace that comes to man as a result of prayer and the satisfaction that comes to him as a result of fasting not only compensates for the little effort he makes in performing these acts of worship, but also creates peace, comfort, and light in the heart of man that ensures his success in his educational goals. The rest of this book reflects the documents left by SAVAK about Imam Musa Sadr his relationship with Imam Khomeini (RA) and his revolutionary activities in Lebanon. In the third volume of his memoirs, titled "The Formation of the Islamic Revolution of Iran," Sadeq Tabatabaei recounts the events related to the early days of the victory of the revolution and the referendum of the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979. This book is organized into two chapters, titled The Heart of Iran in the Heart of Europe (Imam in Paris) and From the Flight of the Revolution to the Establishment of the Islamic Republic. Describing the feelings of the people at the time of the Shah's departure from Iran, Tabatabaei wrote: When Radio Tehran broadcast the news of the Shah's departure, public celebrations spread throughout Tehran. Revolutionary groups poured into the streets unhindered by the security forces and the army. People invited drivers to turn on their headlights to join in the joy. [Even] the minibusses of the US embassy that took embassy staff home were previously equipped with photos of Imam Khomeini (RA). The three volumes of Sadegh Tabatabaei's memoirs include more than 400 personal and family photos, unpublished images of Imam Khomeini (RA), the late Hajj Ahmad Khomeini, and demonstrations by students living abroad against the Pahlavi regime. Previously, Sadegh Tabatabaei had said about the content of the fourth and fifth volumes of his memoirs: The fourth volume of these memoirs begins with the referendum of 1979 and continues until the beginning of the imposed war, and the fifth volume covers the imposed war and continues until 1989 and the death of Imam Khomeini.
