Trilingual edition (Portuguese, English and French) of this magnificent and rare photographic album that takes stock of the revolutionary movement and the subsequent civil war, using a pamphlet-like tone that extols the political-military qualities of the MPLA and its armed wing - the FAPLA. Among the texts and slogans that run through the work, we highlight a «text alluding to the imperialist aggression of which the People's Republic of Angola is a victim and to the Generalized Popular Resistance, as an organizational form of the Angolan people…»; articles from a wall newspaper that demonstrate the political awareness of the Angolan people; the relevance of December 10 as a historical date for the Angolan people as it is the founding date of the MPLA; quotes from comrade-president Agostinho Neto; «Another aspect of the vandalism of the Portuguese Armed Forces, when they left Angola after the Proclamation of Independence»; Anthem of Angola and Anthem of MPLA.
