Peron and Peronism

Excellent read.

First half of book is a good introduction to Peronism. Second half of book is somewhat suspect due to the large amount of space given to international conspiracy theory.One of the very few [positive] books in English about Peron and Peronism.Everything considered book is well worth reading, especially as the socioeconomic/cultural conditions in the US trend to those in Argentina that produced Peron, i. e. deeping political division, increasing wealth disparity, de-industrialization, infrastructure deterioration, financial manipulation, etc.

The book is more of a study in right-wing anti-capitalist thought than a biography of Peron or explanation of his beliefs. The author has "alt-right" views and is using Peron and his life examine them. The book was helpful in some ways, but not really what I was looking for.

I would give this four and a half stars. It was refreshing to read something on Juan and Eva Peron from this particular point of view. Highly recommended for those interested in Argentina or even getting a more balanced view of the Third (political) Way. Peronism is fascinating.

I'm a native of Argentina and I can tell you this book is written by a Peron lover who only goes by what Peron wrote about, in reality Peron was a populist corrupt dictator, not to mention his wife many acts of corruption as well, the book is so heavily biassed It was hard to read without laughing out loud, to this day Argentina is paying the price for the incompetencies of this failed leader
