The book by Rafael Funes is more a political tract than it is a serious study of the conflict of democracy and Communism in Latin America. It is written from the point of view of an extremely right-wing nationalist Catholic, an admirer of Rosas, who seeks to convince the reader that it is this element in the Latin American body politic which is the only one really equipped to deal with the Communists. Little substantial evidence is offered to sustain this thesis, rhetoric being substituted for facts.
