Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States. Harry S. Truman, 1952-53

Like the volume immediately preceding this one in the series of presidential papers (noted in HAHR, February 1967, p. 136) this potpourri of official messages, informal remarks, and press conferences contains little about Latin America except bland good wishes. Some of Truman’s off-hand comments on other subjects make entertaining reading, but no one will ever use these papers to prove that the President knew or cared much about inter-American problems.
