It is an argument which lines up fact on fact to show that the elements of unity exist, and need only to be recognized. With a scalpel-like touch that cuts clean and deep, he exposes Pan-America's many problems, the differences, distrusts and misconceptions that have slowed its development. He also shows the elements of unity between the 21 Republics: the common aims, history, culture. And, he says, there are more things that bind the nations...
