ReviewsThe Fraser/Navarro biography is the first convincingly researched and historically accurate account. . . . Engrossing narrative style., [The authors] have separated out the truth from the sinner/saint legend of Eva Peron--and, most impressively, produced a work of great political sophistication. . . . Factual, nuanced, and absorbing., A fascinating, frightening, straightforward look at the way a private mythology integrated a public personality.

SynopsisThe story begins in a dusty village lost in the Argentine pampas, where a girl, born out of wedlock, scrambles her way to the capital city by the time she is fifteen. It ends with the embalmed corpse of Eva Peron being hidden away by nervous politicians for fear that if the working people of Argentina knew where it was buried, it would inspire them to revolution.In between Eva Peron became first the actress Eva Duarte, then the mistress of Colonel Perón, then, in October 1945 after the "shirtless ones" had swept Peron into office, the president's wife. In the colorful, tumultuous setting of postwar Argentina, she wielded a power--spiritual and practical--that has few parallels outside of hereditary monarchy. She was literally idolized by millions but was hated and feared by many as well. She became Evita, the legend., The story begins in a dusty village lost in the Argentine pampas, where a girl, born out of wedlock, scrambles her way to the capital city by the time she is fifteen.

It Was Okay
The book is interesting but was much smaller and beat up than expected. I had purchased another book about Eva Peron at the same time and it was big, hardcover, and in excellent condition and I purchased them for about the same price. Nevertheless, I was a bit disappointed when they both arrived on the same day and there was such a big difference between the two.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A fascinating read that brings insight into the movie, "Evita"
This is the history of Eva Duarte Peron, the basis of the Broadway musical and movie, Evita. The telling of Buenos Aires and Evita's life is compelling and brings insight and a greater understanding of the movie and Eva Peron's life. I have not finished reading the book, but it is a very interesting read on what Buenos Aires was like in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. I highly recommend this book. It is not technical and easily readable.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
