Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Olga Benario Prestes was the epitome of the 1930s Communist activist. Sent by the Comintern to guard Brazilian rebel leader Luis Carlos Prestes (who became her husband), she was captured and sent to Germany to die in the gas chamber. While her training as an undercover soldier of the Communist revolution may upset some readers' notions of morality, her life of discipline, obedience, and dedication to the Comintern are portrayed in a balanced fashion in this very readable biography. Brazilian journalist Morais has obtained many details from interviews and a wide selection of sources. Though some of Prestes's deeds were violent, this account captures her spirituality and commitment. Recommended for larger collections in political science and history.

Olga is an Inspiration
19. Dezember 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
This is one of my four all time favorite books. It's set in a fascinating time period (the years leading up to WWII) and tells the story of an incredibly couragous woman, Olga Benario. The writing is straight forward with few flourishes but the book includes so many fascinating details of this woman's life that you can't help feeling inspired by her strenght of her character. I suppose I could say something about how great it is to find a book like this when women are so often left out of history books, but it certainly wasn't written as an attempt at political correctness. Olga's story simply had to be told because she was just such an amazing person.
Hate to rain on Morais' parade, but...

Format:Taschenbuch
The problem is that, as a Marxist, I prefer biographs of communists to be _political_ not sentimental. As it is, Olga Benario's biography is moving enough; but it has to be understood in terms of the age's ideological and political choices. Olga, after all, was not only a helpless victim of Vargas and Nazism; she was also the model Stalinist professional revolutionary, a bureaucrat with a taste for autoritharian choices and adventures, who became embroiled into an unfortunate attempt at revolution-making by means of a Latin American style military putsch doomed from the start, something the book never even tries to explain. Were a Isaac Deutscher to write the book, he would begin by explaining Comintern politics at the time, the need felt by Stalin to compensate for the crushing failure of his politics in Germany by means of some adventure elsewhere, the fantasies harboured among his henchmen about the situation in Brazil, the personality cult fostered around Prestes...Well, absolutely nothing of that is explained in the book, which will now become a film in Brazil directed by a telenovela director from TV Globo. Good entretainment with no intellectual analysis whatsoever -that's how I would summarize this book.

Biased and incomplete biography
9. Juni 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
I read this regular book, here in Brazil. This book is a biography of a German Jewess and Marxist that fell in love with another Marxist, Luis Carlos Prestes, a Brazilian and former military. This book is concise, but fails when it is also very Leftist biased and makes big mistakes, such as "forgetting" that she was a Soviet well payed agent with orders to impose Communism to Brazil.
