Summary/Abstract: The book is divided into three basic sections: a) the attitude of LCY regarding the problem of power from the beginning of the uprising and the development of power from 1941 to the Second Session of AVNOJ b) a review of the decisions of AVNOJ with a special consideration of the decision about organisation of the new Yugoslavia and c) the issue of the continuity of power from the uprising in 1941 till the declaration of the Republic on 29th November 1945. In the first section of the book the general views of the classics of Marxism about meaning of power in the revolution are discussed in the first place. This is followed by a short analysis of the development of the new revolutionary power, during the uprising in all Yugoslav countries, with special consideration of the specific ways of the appearance and development of power until the session of AVNOJ; in Jajce on 29th November 1943. The second section, mostly written in a polemical tone, deals with the decision of AVNOJ which proclaims that Yugoslavia is being organised on a federal and democratic principle, which grants the nationalities the right of self-determination and separation. Explaining the meaning of this decision in defense of the revolutionary heritage up to that stage, and placing it in relation of time and space, the author reviews some of the incorrect interpretations of it by certain nationalists and irredentists. The third section which deals with the continuity and development of the people's power since 1941 to 1945. All the most important actions of the highest LCY and military leadership of PLM (People’s Liberation Movement) aimed at bringing this power to effect and strengthening it on all liberated and occupied territories of Yugoslavia are listed. Aspects of the foreign affairs of this issue are particularly pointed out, as Well as the continuous efforts of contrarevolution, lead by the Royal Government in exile and their minister Draža Mihailović to balk the victory of the revolution, and the ability of the leadership of PLM to overcome these obstacles.
