This book does an excellent job of trying to sort through the myths and provide context. Hard to do with a woman about whom so many contradictory stories are told.

I remember seeing a movie about this lady years ago, and I picked this book up at a used book store to learn more about her. This was certainly not the most interesting historical biography that I have ever read, but it was entertaining. I finished it fairly quickly and learned a lot about Evia Peron and her life. It was a decent book.

Came to this book with basically no knowledge. Enjoyed reading about the Europe trip in particular. However, the authors' claim, repeated several times, that President Peron had the ultimate control over Eva & did not let her do what she wanted...that may very well be true, but they don't ever take the time to present the supporting evidence of that. There were several other times that they wrote off other critics' interpretations/claims as "fantasies" when I thought they had enough merit to be worth investigating more.

Read in preparation for a trip to Buenos Aires. It provided a balanced and mostly thorough look at one of the twentieth centuries most controversial and famous politicians.
