That essay shows as clearly as exactly the development of Liberation Front; at .the call and under the leadership of CP, that mass antifascist organization succeded in gathering over twenty different political, cultural and other groups and organizations; because of its program comprising nine main points, it became a wide basis for the union of all true patriots in the Liberation struggle, and the only authorized representative of the Slovenes. That essay contains above all a most precious analysis of social classes in Slovenia. At the time of the occupation of Slovenia which nazi Germany and fascist Italy divided between themselves, the leading and decisive part played by the working class, with the CP at its head, became obvious. The first partisans came from the workers' class, and the communists suffered the heaviest losses. The author explains as well how wider and wider masses of people joined the antifascist basis of Liberation Front: peasantry, middle classes, intellectuals. Even a part of the Slovene bourgeoisie supported Liberation Front. Every political party or group had to take up its position towards the program of Liberation Front, that was being carried on by the rebellious Slovene People.
