According to the reporter of Navideshahed; Amir Admiral Ali Shamkhani, the experienced commander of war delivered speech in the ceremony of “Selecting the Best Sacred Defense Book of the Year”? and said: “After passing time since war finished and while we become far from the last days of war till today, we have been growing in the field of sacred defense literature. 900 titles of books in this field were studied in the Year 1359 (1980-1981). But the number of studied books decreased every year. Considering increase of new branches in this field, the quantity and quality of compiling books regarding the events of sacred defense time are moving downwards.”?

Considering the diverse of subjects and events which are as diverse as the number of war moments, no considerable books have been written in this field. The moments of war were formed during the 8 years of sacred defense following the attack of the most merciless and cruel aggressive enemy to our country, Shamkhani added.
He further said: “Considering strong support of General Commander of All Forces for this field, it is predicted that richer and more influential works are produced in this field.”?
Shamkhani further spoke about success of some books which are welcomed by many audiences and said: “Books such as “Daa”? which are published for the 8th time are successful; because, they have appropriately –but not in an exaggerated way- reflected realities. They are far from imagination and are written conformed with tastes of audiences. Majority of books in this field is not published for second time; this is mainly because there is an atmosphere of exaggeration in war literature now.”?
As for the subjects for writing books in this field, he said: “There are many subjects including cultivating vegetables in Minoo Island and the last defense in bombardment of “Halabcheh”?.”?
In conclusion, Shamkhani said: “Writers should write about realities in order to influence more on the thought of young generation. We should show this generation that martyrs were ordinary people who created these great events relying on God and due to God’s attention.”?
