Inside Latin America by John Gunther (1941) (L34d4) Harper & Brothers HC
From inside flaps:
Raymond Gram Swing writes of the book: "Mr. Gunther's book is the key to hemisphere defense, not in the sense that it supplies the solution of the problem, but that it unlocks the door. For this reason it can be acclaimed as the most important political and educational book to come from the American press for a long time. Innumerable readers will be as thankful to have a new world swim into their ken as was Keats on reading his Chapman's Homer.
"Mr Gunther's book is the third volume written b y a formula of his own invention. The author chooses the essential personalities and sketches them. The formula is no great shakes; Mr. Gunther is. He is indefatigable in this labor to sifting through the available facts. He is astute in appraising them. But hes genius is his presentation of facts and personalities. He writes with a combination of breezy informality, simplicity, and personal enthusiasm. Millions of readers throughout the world have taken Europe and Asia into their minds more will now open their minds to Latin America. To say that Mr. Gunther is the world's foremost political reporter-educator. Because of his own interest he is interesting. Because he is learning, he is educational. Because he never pontificates or lectures, he is as exciting as life itself."
