by Victor Paz Estenssoro
As President of Bolivia from 1952 to 1956 Dr. Paz Estenssoro. in face of great difficulties, brought about-in a country as large as France and Spain combined —a bloodless revolution in which he nationalised tin mines, built roads and railways, introduced agrarian reform and universal suffrage. He thus established himself as one of the leading architects of contemporary Latin America.
In the first of two talks Dr. Paz sets out the background to what he calls Latin America's ' national revolution ' and analyses its political and social consequences.
