 Tomás Eloy Martínez 's The Perón Novel ( La novela de Perón , 1985 ) uses a mixture of historical facts , fiction , and documents to retell the life story of Juan Domingo Perón , " dramatizing the rivalries within the ranks of Peronism " . This allowed the author to construct an intimate portrait of Perón rather than an historically accurate one . This method of analyzing Perón , that delves into his early history and family upbringing to theorize the motivation for his actions later in life , can be linked to Sarmiento 's similar analyses of Facundo , and through him , Rosas .
