The Texas State Historical Association has received Volume IV
of Documents on German Foreign Policy z198-z945 from the
Archives of the German Foreign Ministry, entitled The After-
math of Munich, October, 1938-March, 1939. This excellent
collection of documents published jointly by the United States
State Department, the British Foreign Office, and the French

German Foreign Ministry helps in part to confirm the conjectures
of various journalists and scholars in regard to the diplomatic
maneuvers of the National Socialists immediately preceding
World War II, and in part sheds new light on the subject. Nearly

German relations with Great Britain, France, Italy, the Papacy,
the Soviet Union, the United States, and the Far East during
approximately the same time.

works, and several essays written by the editor especially for this
volume. Some articles describe the governmental machinery and
practice of Latin-American governments; others examine the basic
factors-historical, geographical, cultural, and economic-which
have conditioned Latin-American politics; while still other selec-
tions deal with contemporary problems and activities. This col-
lection should add much to a more sympathetic understanding
of the problems and complexities of Latin America, so often
taken too lightly by the North-American student. It is an indis-530
