description: Very little is known to the outside world of the struggle now taking place inside Angola. While the Portuguese army and political police hold the towns large areas of the countryside have now been liberated and are being administered by the Liberation Front. From members of the Front (the MPLA) comes this account of the background to their struggle with the colonial power the state of backwardness and illiteracy that they have inherited from colonialism and their aims and achievements in building a new society while conducting an all-out war against an enemy armed with the latest NATO weapons. This short and factual account will it is hoped. lead to greater understanding and sympathy for their cause amongst the peoples of the imperialist powers whose financial and military support for the Portuguese along makes the continuation of the war possible.
