Remember the Subject

I have read dozens of books on political behavior, and have been disenchanted by most of them. This however was not the case with The Charismatic Bond. The story of Juan Peron itself is magnificent, but Madsen and Snow seem to help us understand the story of the people that made Peron legendary, as well as, circumstances that surrounded his rise and subsequent fall. Despite all of this you still must have a taste for politics to enjoy this book.
