On 8 February 1971, Marxist revolutionaries attacked the
gendarmerie outpost at the village of Siyahkal in Iran’s Gilan
province. Barely two months later, the Iranian People’s Fada’i
Guerrillas officially announced their existence and began a long,
drawn-out urban guerrilla war against the Shah’s regime. In Call
to Arms, Ali Rahnema provides a comprehensive history of the
Fada’is, beginning by asking why so many of Iran’s best and
brightest chose revolutionary Marxism in the face of absolutist
rule. He traces how radicalised university students from different
ideological backgrounds morphed into the Marxist Fada’is in 1971,
and sheds light on their theory, practice and evolution. While the
Fada’is failed to directly bring about the fall of the Shah,
Rahnema shows they had a lasting impact on society and they
ultimately saw their objective achieved.
