Organ of the American student arm of the Iranian People's Fedayee [Fedai] Guerrillas, an Iranian guerrilla communist group that opposed both Western capitalism and the 1979 Islamic Revolution (the latter chiefly from exile). This group is not to be confused with the Organization of Iranian People's Fedai Guerrillas, from which the IPFG split in 1979, citing the former's lack of dedication to the principles of armed struggle. The magazine's contents are a combination of attacks on Iran's "imperialist" Islamic regime and on the foreign policy of the United States, which the organization blames for laying the foundation for the Islamic revolution beginning with the CIA coup of 1953. A rare publication from a key period in modern Iranian history, before the Islamic Republic had irrevocably consolidated power. This periodical rare; OCLC notes only about five locations for any holdings in the U.S., all for later issues.
