Culture Shock: Life under a Dictator

Culture Shock is about a Southern girl, who goes really deep south to Argentina and experiences Peron, the death of Evita, the Peronistas, and living next to the notorious Adolph Eichmann. In 1951, Peron (the dictator of Argentina) allowed Nazis to escape from Europe to Argentina with perfect sanctuary. America wasn't sure if Hitler really died in the bunker or not (forensics weren't that good back then), so they watched to see what Nazis came through Argentina. It wasn't until YEARS later when Caroline's daughter was working on a project for the Naval Oceanographic and Meteorological Command at the Stennis Space Center in Mississippi that she learned that her husband's position at the embassy in 1951 in Buenos Aires was pre-CIA. This gave her an explanation as to why she and her husband were sent to live in a German boarding house that was full of Nazi/Gestapo officers and run by a German Contessa. The icing on the cake was that Adolph Eichmann lived in the room next to them.
