A tight, attractive fourth printing of this WW@-date study of (to cite front jacket flap) "Exactly what will happen in South America whether Hitler wins or loses?" Author (1889-1967) was a noted Lartin America authority and author; he boldly inscribes and signs the inner flyleaf in blue ink "For / Mr & Mrs Deane Malott / with many thanks / for your generous / hospitality / Hubert Herring / 1942." Malott's custom bookplate (with Cornell University and University of Kansas logos) on front pastedown. Deane W.

Presumably as chancellor he hosted Herring when the author visited University of Kansas.
