Show Notes

This weeks episode chronicles the life of a man who rose from nothing, to lead Argentina and win the love of its people.  Juan Peron is a pivotal figure in Latin American history, and left an indelible mark on the nation, one that continues to have influence to this day.  He would achieve great things while in power, but his final term in office ended in chaos that dragged Argentina into near civil war. To explore the life of this incredible man, we’re joined by Dr Jill Hedges, the deputy director of analysis at Oxford Analytica and author of Juan Peron: The life of the People’s Colonel.
