"Marxist-Lenenists regard human life as the greatest treasure on earth. For the sake of life, the communists of whom this book tells went to their deaths...Marcel Cachin, Ernst Taelmann, Nikos Belojanis, Julian Grimau and thousands of other heroic sons of our age worked for unity, died for it, saw it as the most reliable key to freedom and enlightenment. They are no longer in our midst, but their self-sacrificing struggle for the unity of all the workers of the earth, wherever they were born, on the banks of the Seine or the Congo, the Amazon or the Ganges, is a fitting reproach to those trying to split the forces of the working people on the grounds of different color of skin." -- From the preface.
