Written in a prison cell and sent out to a British ex-Communist, Douglas Hyde, in London, the manuscript was assembled by Hyde and published in the US and London. Taruc also writes of the problems of the Filipino peasants, his laments about errors made in the Huk campaign, and his being born again as a Christian while in prison.
