"I Wish I Could Breath"

Seyed Ghasem Ya Hosseini, in an interview with Navidshahed reporter, said: "The title contains the memories of five 70% chemically injured veterans among whom are Abdol-Hossein Banaderi, Mokhtar Emaei, and Abdol-Karim Mozafari who are the residents of Boushehr, Abadan and Ahwaz, respectively."

Referring to the fact that every 25 pages of the book is dedicated to each veteran's memories, he asserted: "Since the after effects of war never ceases for veterans, I depicted their sufferings in the life after war."

Ya Hosseini, referring to the fact that the book title is derived from Mokhtar Emaei's words, said: "I have derived the book title from Mokhtar Emaei's words whose severe chemical injuries led to his martyrdom, two weeks after being interviewed."

"Two styles of writing have been applied in the book, first being interview form (questions and answers), and second the first person view, with the aim of introducing and teaching the ways oral history of veterans should be authored. These ways are explained in the book preface," he added.

"I have not yet decided upon the book publisher, but I will soon," he said.
