The book was published for the first time on the occasion of the 60th birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung and its enlarged edition was brought out in Juche 92 (2003).

The new book has 12 chapters, 96 sections and epilog dealing with immortal revolutionary exploits of the President and his personality as a peerlessly great man.

The first four chapters cover the period from April 1912 to August 1945. They tell stories that the President pioneered the revolutionary cause of Juche and led the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle to victory, achieving the historic cause of the country's liberation.

The next four chapters cover the period from August 1945 to December 1960. They deal with the feats the President performed by successfully implementing the historic tasks for carrying out social revolution at two stages, waging the Fatherland Liberation War, conducting the postwar rehabilitation and construction and laying foundations of socialism, and establishing the Korean-style socialist system centered on the popular masses in the DPRK.

The last four chapters cover the period from January 1961 to July 1994. They deal with the immortal feats the President performed by successfully leading socialist construction of various phases and thereby building a socialist power, independent in politics, self-supporting in the economy and self-reliant in national defence and fully demonstrating its dignity and might.
