PREFACE TO THE ENGLISH
EDITION
The original manuscript was ready for the
printers in July 1970, i. e., before the Lusaka Con­
ference and even before the Preparatory Conference
in Dar Es Salaam. I have therefore felt that a
short postscript would be in order. In it the outcome
of the Lusaka Conference is compared with the
views expressed in the last section of the book.
The documents at the end of the book have also
been brought up to date by the inclusion of the two
Lusaka Declarations. The other final documents are
not included because they do not introduce significant
new substance.
I am also indebted to the Publisher Oceana Publi­
cations for their friendly cooperation in the publica­
tion of this book in English.
