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
