Description
Inspired by actual events: In the middle of the Depression, while American relations soured with politically tumultuous Argentina, young Torontonian Phyllis May met and married Stuart Redington, a young, handsome American working for Remington-Rand. Trade reopened between Argentina and the British Commonwealth, and Stuart was transferred from the company's Upper Canada offices to Buenos Aires, Argentina. However, a few years prior and unbeknownst to Phyl, Stuart was recruited upon graduation from Princeton into the forerunner of today's FBI: G-Man Program. With noble intentions, he secretly set out as a G-Man for the US Foreign Service. Working for a British Commonwealth office and married to a Canadian was a perfect cover.
In the meantime, it was innocent Phyl's lifelong dream-fancy ships, tuxedos, exotic lands, and palm trees. But did she wonder why her bright husband would work as a humble salesman?
An initial two-year contract was to garner them enough to put a down payment on a home in North America while the world struggled to put food on the table. However, foreign culture and the constant threat of danger almost took their toll. Still, Phyl and Stu had no choice but to desperately tread water in a constant Argentine riptide that incessantly pulled them between North America and Argentina amid military coups, Nazi intrigues, World War II, and Eva Peron, a woman with whom Phyl felt intricately involved.
Be careful of what you wish for. Mata Hari with an iron will? Phyl was not. But only at first...
Argentina Riptide: Military Coups, Nazi Intrigues, Eva Peron: What's Not to Like? Inspired by letters written between 1935 and 1961.
