DESCRIPTION - Latin America has produced no more remarkable or enduring political figure than Juan Peron. Born to modest circumstances in 1895 and trained in the military, he rose to power during a period of political uncertainty in Argentina. A shrewd opportunist who understood the needs and aspirations of the country's workers, Peron rode their votes to the presidency and then increased their share of the nation's wealth. But he also destroyed the independence of their unions and suppressed dissent. Ousted in a coup in 1955, he wandered about Latin America and finally settled in Spain, where he masterminded an astonishing political comeback that climaxed in his reelection as president in 1973. Joseph Page's engrossing biography-the first full-length study of the enigmatic Argentine-has been more than eight years in preparation. Based upon interviews on three continents, never-before-inspected Argentine and U.S. government documents and exhaustive research, Page's book spans Peron's formative years; his arrest and dramatic rescue by the descamisados (shirtless ones, or workers) in 1945; his relationship with the now-mythic Evita; the violence and mysterious murders that punctuated his career; his tragic legacy, personified by his third wife, Isabel, who assumed the presidency after his death under the influence of a Rasputin-like astrologer; and the continuing appeal of Peronism in Argentina. Page's study of Argentine-American relations is particularly penetrating, especially in its description of the struggle between Peron and U.S. ambassador Spruille Braden. Joseph Page's ambitious, absorbing book sheds much-needed light on one of the most fascinating and least understood political figures of our times. His masterful portrait of this complex man will be required reading for anyone interested in Argentina, Latin America or the phenomenon of charismatic leadership. inventory #5989.

From Wikipedia: "Juan Domingo Perón ( 8 October 1895 1 July 1974) was an Argentine military officer and politician. After serving in several government positions, including Vice President of the Republic, he was three times elected President of Argentina, serving from June 1946 to September 1955, when he was overthrown in a coup d'état, and from October 1973 to July 1974 (his death). During his first presidential term, Perón was supported by his wife, Eva Duarte ("Evita"), and the two were immensely popular. Eva died in 1952, and Perón was elected to a second term, serving from 1952 until 1955. During the following period of two military dictatorships, interrupted by two civilian governments, the Peronist party was outlawed and Perón was exiled. When the left-wing Peronist Hector Cámpora was elected President in 1973, Perón returned to Argentina and was soon after elected President for a third time. The Peróns gave their name to the political movement known as Peronism." Good in good dust jacket. Some edge soiling. DJ has some wear, soiling, and erasure residue at front. First edition.
