Decades after her death, the legend of Eva Peron continues to captivate millions. No other female political leader in the 20th century - not Margaret Thatcher, Indira Gandhi or Golda Meir - is surrounded by more mythology and romantic love than Eva Peron, the power-obsessed, boldy revolutionary wife of Argentine dicator, Juan Peron. In this biography, French-Argentine journalist Alicia Dujovne Ortiz unveils the myths and penetrates the complexities behind Eva Peron's enduring allure. With access to declassified archives of the Peron government, Ortiz reveals the slippery truths, including rumoured connections between Peron and the German Nazis. Ortiz has researched many personal testimonies, including the confidences of Father Hernan Benitez, Eva's personal confessor, as well as analyzing Eva's own memoirs.
