Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Chu Teh, one of the legendary figures of the Chinese Revolution,
was born in 1886. He was commander in chief of the People's
Revolutionary Army, and this is the story of the first sixty years
of his life. As a supreme commanding general, he was probably
unique; surely there has never been another commander in chief who,
during his years of service, spun, wove, set type, grew and cooked
his own food, wrote poetry and lectured not only to his troops on
military strategy and tactics but to women's classes on how to
preserve vegetables. Evans Carlson wrote that "Chu Teh has the
kindness of a Robert E. Lee, the tenacity of a Grant, and the
humility of a Lincoln." More than a biography, this work by a great
American woman journalist, who took the account from Chu Teh
himself, is a social and historical document of the highest value.

The Weakest Link - Russia Has A Plan - Will They Give Up The Sugar?
This introduction to socialist thought is by two men perhaps better
qualified than any other Americans to have written it. Leo Huberman
and Paul Sweezy, founding editors and publishers of the independent
socialist magazine Monthly Review, built an impressive reputation
as keen observers, acute analysts, and lucid writers on the world
and domestic scenes. In this book, they present in clear and direct
language the basic elements of the socialist critique of capitalist
society.
This classic text from Leo Huberman, a founder of Monthly Review
magazine, links economics and history to create a powerful and
exciting portrait of the modern age.
