It is a monumental work which clarified a key to the victory of the socialist cause.

Kim Jong Il, in the work, proudly reviews the history of the Korean revolution which has won victory after victory with the revolutionary faith, willpower and courage of President Kim Il Sung.

The work expounds in a clear-cut way the iron-logic that the revolution is the faith, willpower and courage and the issues of principle for the entire people of the country to achieve a new victory by entirely following the faith and courage that the President had possessed and the Workers' Party of Korea is carrying forward.

The past seven years are a proud period during which the Korean people, with faith in the victory of the revolution and willpower, have ushered in a great heyday of national prosperity, frustrating the challenge and pressure of the U.S. imperialists.

The Korean people's faith, willpower and courage are being given to the full extent in the current general onward march of the Songun revolution.

They, with an absolute trust in Kim Jong Il, are advancing vigorously along the road indicated by him.

The eternal prosperity of the country and the happiness of the posterity to come hinge on believing and following leader Kim Jong Il. This unshakable willpower is the kernel of the revolutionary faith settled in hearts of the Korean people.

The high degree of ideological and mental world of the Korean people is manifested in their spirit of defending the revolutionary leadership with their very lives and regarding it as their lifeblood, and in the spirit of thoroughly implementing his instructions with which they are creating everything from nothing and turning impossibility to possibility.

The Korean people, who firmly believe in the victory of the Korean-style socialism, are invariably holding fast to the steady anti-U.S. and independent stand and thorough-going revolutionary principle with invincible faith, willpower and courage. They regard the national defence as the supreme duty of the citizens and hold high the Songun politics of the WPK.

They will make greater effort to build a great, prosperous and powerful socialist country and accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche under the leadership of Kim Jong Il who is increasing the national strength of the DPRK in every way and is bringing about a great prosperity in the Songun Korea with the revolutionary faith, willpower and courage of the President.
