Book Review: Evita First Lady : A Biography of Eva Peron
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a biography buff. I prefer fact over fiction and read just about every autobiography and biography that I can get my hands on. Often I have found the need to read several biographies by various authors to get a clear picture and understanding of the subject's life and character. Not this time - Evita First Lady is an exquisitely written biography. It is not a bit of fluff but a riviting account of the life and times of one of history's most notorious first ladies. I highly recommend John Barnes' book.Book Review: One of the more comprehensive Eva Peron biographies
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the sixth biography of Evita that I have read in as many weeks, and I found it to be one of the better ones. Mr. Barnes offers historic and political details in a manner that is comprehensible to the non-scholar. Although he does incorporate some of the gossip, he focuses primarily on the facts. It would be impossible to write an accurate biography of such an important political figure without giving some historical background. I found this book to be an easy read.Book Review: Learn more about this fascinating persona

I fell in love last year. With Argentina. Having visited, I wanted to learn more and more. The musical Evita gave me a taste of the complexity of the fascinating story of one of Argentina's great figures. This book is a scholarly look at her life, her ups her downs, and includes many interesting photographs of Eva and Juan. I recommend it highly.Book Review: A hard myth to dissect
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one biography that can tries to explain what made her tick. Close to 55 years since she died, Evita's mystery unravels slowly. Her childhood trauma is not enough to explain what drove her addictive need for power and bloodlust. If you admire powerful women, read this.Book Review: evita first lady
