The book blends personal memory with political reflection, tracing the author’s ideological journey through childhood in al-Huwaydir, youth in Baʿqūbah, and his engagement with communist thought. It explores the tension between rural tradition and revolutionary ideals, and the lived experience of Iraqi leftist movements from the 1950s onward.
Al-Saʿdī reflects on friendships, betrayals, and the transformation of political identity across decades of upheaval, exile, and return. The narrative is rich with historical anecdotes, philosophical musings, and emotional candor, offering a rare insider’s view of Iraq’s intellectual and ideological landscape.
