A Genuine Look Inside ‘Peron Peron: Behind the Story of Evita and the Peronist Movement’

by

A Genuine Look Inside ‘Peron Peron: Behind the Story of Evita and the Peronist Movement’ You know, another book about Eva and Juan Perón could almost seem a little repetitive. Well, so many stories have been told, and seriously, the musical pretty much cemented a specific version of their lives in our minds. As a matter of fact, when I first heard about ‘Peron Peron: Behind the Story of Evita and the Peronist Movement’, I was just a little skeptical. But, frankly, this 2025 release from historian Dr. Alistair Finch isn’t just another re-telling. Instead, it feels more like a …

2025 Serbian History Crash Course Review

by

2025 Serbian History Crash Course Review Beyond the Misleading Headlines So, a person often gets a picture of Serbia that is, you know, kind of filtered through some very grainy newsreels from a few decades ago. It’s a country with a story that feels, in a way, both epic and intensely personal, yet it’s almost always painted with a single, broad brushstroke. Frankly, finding a good starting point to learn about it can be a bit of a challenge.
