Simon Collier was reader in history at the University of Essex, England.
A thoroughly enjoyable volume significant to students of Latin
American popular culture, to fans of Carlos Gardel and the tango,
and to the understanding of twentieth-century Argentina. . . . This
biography explains what the magic was all about.-- "The Times of
the Americas"
Fifty years after his death, Gardel is still an idol. The
phenomenon has been thoroughly investigated by Simon Collier . . .
who has come up with what is arguably the best biography even
written of the star of tango. . . . a remarkable book.-- "New York
City Tribune"
