Bakhshī az khāṭirāt-i faqīh va marjaʻ-i ʻālīqadr Ḥaz̤rat Āyat Allāh al-ʻUẓmá Muntaẓirī (2 jild dar yak mujallid)

These memoirs present the life and testimony of Grand Ayatollah Ḥusayn ʻAlī Muntaẓirī, among the most consequential and contested figures of twentieth-century Īrān. Recorded through dozens of candid interviews and edited by a circle of his students, the account moves from his childhood in Najafābād and his religious training in Iṣfahān and Qum to his years beside Āyat Allāh Burūjirdī and Āyat Allāh Khumaynī. Muntaẓirī recounts the gathering momentum of the Islamic Revolution, his repeated imprisonments and internal exiles under the Pahlavī regime, and his prominent part in the Assembly of Experts and the drafting of the new constitution. Later chapters address his contested designation as successor to the leadership, the Iran-Iraq War, his objections to the treatment of prisoners, and his eventual removal from office. Extensive documentary appendices reproduce letters, telegrams and official records, making this a candid and indispensable primary source for modern Iranian history.
