The cover has the Movement for Colonial Freedom's logo on the top left corner, which is a stretched out hand held high while being freed from a pair of shackles. The additional text above the title on the cover reads: 'This pamphlet has been prepared by Leon Szur and Jack Woddis and is issued, after endorsement by its Central Council, by The Movement for Colonial Freedom, 374 Grays Inn Road, London, W.C.1'. The further text below the title says: 'The United Nations, Africa, Asia, South America—even the British Parliament—are hearing this new term. For half the population of the world Neo-Colonialism is the biggest challenge of our time. It is up to all of us to understand its full meaning.'
