Product Description

A dazzling fictional portrait of Juan Peron, the most revered and hated dictator in the history of Argentina, La novela de Peron is also all audacious and compelling meditation on absolute power. Tomas Eloy Martinez follows the ailing general from his return to his homeland after eighteen years of exile to his death scarcely a year later, revealing a tragically hollow man who found himself only in the act of commanding.
