Absolutely the finest assessment of the Perons' years in power in Argentina, the book is balanced, complete, and thorough, an amazing quality since the subject is so complex and so many facts will never be known. Ortiz scrupulously analyzes published information, rumors, gossip and the results of her own investigation and presents it in a logical, clear and fair manner. No one interested in this topic should start with any other book on the subject.
