It is not neutral biography, and that is partly the point: Main’s portrait is fiercely anti-Peronist, morally loaded, and often melodramatic, but also valuable as a document of how Evita was framed, feared, desired and politically weaponised by her opponents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1368\" data-end=\"1627\"\u003eFor readers interested in Latin American politics, women and power, political spectacle, cults of personality, populism, or the strange process by which a historical figure becomes theatre, icon, insult and saint without anyone agreeing which version is real.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1642\" data-end=\"2214\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorgi paperback edition, published 1977.
