Revolution; with this book his images become part of the pictorial record of that turbulent period, along with the previously published work of photographers such as Abbas and Gilles Peress.

Nazemi roamed throughout the city of Tehran during the Revolution, recording moments of joy and cooperation, the destruction of property, mass raliies, and the violence that erupted between the populace and the Army prior to the capitulation of the troops.'
