It is the purpose of this study to examine this modern Latin American leader, investigating the conditions which produced the man and his movement, the cause which motivated him, his ideals, methods, actions and achievements. Finally, an attempt will be made to determine the significance of his thought and his contributions-- in his own country and in international affairs--- and to place him in the recent history of Latin America
