Publisher's original burgundy cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth with some fading of the spine and dulling of the gilt. The contents, with a previous owner's bookplate to the blank front endpaper, a retailer's stamp to the bottom of the title page and some spotting to the prelims are otherwise clean throughout. Complete with the rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that is toned to the spine and edges of the lower panel but without loss or large tears. Not price-clipped (10s 6d net to the front flap). Inscribed by the author in blue ink on the title page "Best wishes / Paul Robeson". The multi-talented musician, actor, professional sportsman and civil rights activist's "manifesto-autobiography".

Sinopse
Paul Leroy Robeson (April 9, 1898 – January 23, 1976) was an American concert singer (bass), recording artist, actor, athlete, scholar who was an advocate for the Civil Rights Movement in the first half of the 20th century. He gained international attention for his work in the arts and he merged his artistic career with political activism to speak out for the equality of minorities and the rights of workers throughout the world. His friendship with the Soviet Union and the Soviet peoples plus criticism of the lack of progress in civil rights in the United States at the outset of the Cold War and during the age of McCarthyism brought scrutiny, conflict and retribution from the American government. His public persona became diminished, his income plummeted and he faced isolation from the Civil Rights Movement in the second half of the 20th century.
