Destiny’s Game' started as a will. 'I didn’t have the life of a typical 15-year old, not only me but a lot of young people,' recalls Reza. With no idea what would happen to him next, Reza began documenting the events and circumstances surrounding him. This collection of personal memoirs and travels begins in his native country of Iran and takes readers along on his twenty-five-year journey through Turkey, Eastern Europe and the United States. In 'Destiny’s Game,' Reza uses his unique perspective to talk about his family in Iran and the Iranian social and political situation, including the revolution of 1979 and the start of the Iraq-Iran war in September 1980. 'They (the Iranian people) were doing the wrong things for the right reasons. People didn’t know what the Islamic republic meant,' says Reza. It created dangerous socio-political turbulence that forced thousands of Iranian families to flee the country with their young sons and daughters.'Imagine you’re sitting in Jr. High or High School and they (the revolutionary guards, Islamic fundamentalists) come to your class and say, 'Who wants to go to heaven?' And, all the kids raise their hands and want the opportunity. It’s a quick ticket, a short-cut. All they have to do is walk on an Iraqi mine field,' explains Reza.He talks about foreign hypocrisy and, how his views evolved as he witnessed non-Iranian governments’ manipulative efforts to exploit socio-political, cultural and economic affairs of Iran. Through this book, Reza hopes to inspire optimism and national unity, and promote fine moral etiquette and improved human rights. According the Reza, these are important fundamental qualities that the Iranian society and mainstream international governing bodies seriously lack.
