A friend just bought this paperback in a UK bookstore. Our Argentine expatriate friends say it describes the life of Eva Peron without the glamour and hype

The first edition of this book was published by Doubleday in 1952, shortly after the death of Eva Peron. The author used the pseudonym, "Maria Flores." All the newer books about Eva Peron refer to "Woman With The Whip," which is also credited as the source for Tim Rice's musical, "Evita." You either loved Evita or hated her -- and the author, an Anglo-Argentine, is in the latter camp. Although touted by the publisher as a "definitive biography," the first edition lacks any documentation to prove the author's arguments. Still, the book is interesting, well-written, and is an excellent source for the "other side of the story"--the rumors that the opposition believed about the Perons at the time. Essential reading for Evita fans
