Within Argentina, Juan Domingo Peron continues to be the subject of
exaggerated and diametrically opposed views. A dictator, a great
leader, the hero of the working classes and Argentina's "first
worker"; a weak and spineless man dependent on his strongerwilled
wife; a Latin American visionary; a traitor, responsible for
dragging Argentina into a modern, socially just 20th century
society or, conversely, destroying for all time a prosperous nation
and fomenting class war and unreasonable aspirations among his
client base. Outside Argentina, Peron remains overshadowed by his
second wife, Evita. The life of this fascinating and unusual man,
whose charisma, political influence and controversial nature
continue to generate interest, remains somewhat of a mystery to the
rest of the world. Peron remains a key figure in Argentine
politics, still able to occupy so much of the political spectrum as
to constrain the development of viable alternatives. Jill Hedges
explores the life and personality of Peron and asks why he remains
a political icon despite the 'negatives' associated with his
extreme personalism.
