Maria Eva Duarte De Peron was born in poverty in 1919 and died of cancer in 1952, at the age of 33, the richest and most powerful woman in Argentina. Her story is one of the most fantastic in history. Driven by a compelling ambition, she made her way toBuenos Aires and set about becoming an actress. In a very short time she had climbed to the top of Argentinas military social ladder until at last she met Colonel Juan Peron – and her climb took a new direction. Here is the story of "Evita" and how her rise to power became an almost unbelievable account of intrigue, bloodshed and pure chincanery. Her multi-million dollar tour of Europe, her setting up of the Eva Peron Foundation whereby she cornered the market on clothes, toys, books, groceries, imported drugs, medical equipment, and housing; her impassioned campaign speeches, her shameless flaunting of jewelsand clothes in the very face of her worshipping "shirtless ones" – these are but a few of the facets of her incredible career that are described in detail. Soft cover: minor creasing to covers and spine. Published: 1996 ISBN: 0552106453 ...
