Review Quotes

"Rein, one of today's best political and diplomatic historians of Latin America, is the most innovative student of Peronism to have emerged in the last two decades. This is no small accomplishment if one considers the volume of existing scholarly literature in the field. In this book, he exploits a traditional genre (political biography) to explore new questions such as the role of the secondary leadership in the Peronist regime and the domestic dimensions of international relations in a country of immigrants." --Jose Moya, University of California at
Los Angeles

"This superbly researched and translated work should certainly appeal to scholars and students interested in the history of Peronism in Argentina and populism in 20th-century Latin America. Highly recommended." --CHOICE
