Dont cry for Evita? Clive Foss treats her like a lady!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Juan and Eva Peron (Sutton Pocket Biographies) (Paperback)
Since the opening of the rock opera "Evita" back in 1978 and the release of the movie in 1996, there have been several books written about the enigmatic and beautiful title character and her husband. But who were the real Peron's? Were they as ruthless as the movie and other biographies suggest? Who knows for sure because depending on which book you read, they were either good or bad, saints or sinners, compassionate or cruel. Clive Foss's Book, "Juan and Eva Peron" is a well researched and balanced biography of this charismatic couple. It does not paint a "black" or "white" portrait of the two and for that I give him credit. It does seperate fact from fiction and his treatment of Eva Peron is balanced and respectable. However, the book is far from perfect. The books main flaw is that it's much too short. The author does state that his book is not the complete biography of the Peron's and he does list and recommend other more in-depth biographies in his bibliography. That said, the book is easy to read and easy to understand and is highly recommended for anyone who finds politics and history boring or who just want a shortened and less complicated biography of Peron and Evita.
