In the late 1960s, four students at Konstfack decided to ditch the education and realize their graduation project - a book about the people's world history. This resulted in "History Book", which in serial form depicts the emergence of capitalism from the working people's perspective. It goes through Europe and the Third World's history from the Middle Ages to the present, and explains colonialism and imperialism in a clear way. It is also filled with the optimism that supported the commitment of the 68-generation. "History Book" is a real Ordfront Classic. It was first published in 1970 and soon found its place in many Swedish homes. Many history teachers also used it in their teaching in the 70s. In connection with Ordfront and Galago turning 40 and 30 years, we now again print this popular title that is sold out since long ago. With a newly written introduction by the authors, and the sections of capitalist crises, the book is still raging current. A classic! "History Book" is one of Ordfront biggest sales successes. It has sold about 70 000 copies and been translated into six languages.
