Friedrich Engels
First Published in 1976. The first volume on this two-part biography traces Engels' carer from his youth in the Wupper valley, through his periods in Bremen and Berlin to the Manchester years and the beginning of his long collaboration with Marx. These early years are described against the background of the prevailing social unrest in Europe, culminating in the 1848 revolutions and portraits are included of many Marx's and Engels' friends and fellow communists.

Africa and the West
Besides her natural beauty, the scenery and the climate, and her abundant wildlife and natural resources, Africa is probably best known as the homeland of hundreds of millions of people who live in abject poverty. Millions are wracked by disease and blinded by ignorance. And just as many go hungry every day. But there is something else which also distinguishes Africa: lack of unity among her people. That is one of the main reasons why they were conquered by foreigners, and why Africa is still weak and poor today. There is no other continent which is endowed with so much in terms of natural resources. But there is also no other continent where it has been so easy for foreigners to take what does not belong to them. This book began as a self-examination of the African personality in an attempt to understand Africa's place in the world, especially in relation to the West.
