Synopsis "Operation Massacre "

1956. Argentina has just lost its charismatic president Juán Perón in a military coup, and terror reigns across the land. June 1956: eighteen people are reported dead in a failed Peronist uprising. December 1956: sometime journalist, crime fiction writer, studiedly unpoliticized chess aficionado Rodolfo Walsh learns by chance that one of the executed civilians from a separate, secret execution in June, is alive. He hears that there may be more than one survivor and believes this unbelievable story on the spot. And right there, the monumental classic Operation Massacre is born.Walsh made it his mission to find not only the survivors but widows, orphans, political refugees, fugitives, alleged informers, and anonymous heroes, in order to determine what happened that night, sending him on a journey that took over the rest of his life.Originally published in 1957, Operation Massacre thoroughly and breathlessly recounts the night of the execution and its fallout.

Rodolfo Walsh (Lamarque, 1927 – Buenos Aires, 1977) was an Argentine journalist, writer, and activist, considered a pioneer of narrative journalism in Latin America. His most emblematic work, Operation Massacre (1957), is recognized as the first non-fiction novel in the Hispanic American sphere, predating Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. In it, Walsh exposed the clandestine shootings of civilians during the 1956 dictatorship. His political commitment led him to join the Montoneros organization and, in 1977, he was murdered by the military dictatorship after publishing his famous Open Letter from a Writer to the Military Junta.

Among his most notable works are: Variations in Red (1953), a collection of detective stories; Who Killed Rosendo? (1969), an investigation into the murder of union leader Rosendo García; The Satanowsky Case (1973), about the homicide of lawyer Marcos Satanowsky; and A Kilo of Gold (1967), a book of stories that includes "The Earthly Professions" and "Footnote". His output spans genres such as chronicle, short story, and political essay, cementing his legacy as a key figure in committed literature and journalism in Argentina.

Muy buena edición de tremenda obra literaria, con adjuntos de fotos y tapas de prensa de esos años que muestras un lado oculto de la historia oficial a la que tenemos más acceso. Hubo toda una lucha y compromiso social velado y denostado hasta el día de hoy, que gracias a la documentación no se puede negar. Recomendable 100% para acercar nuestra historia a los que no hablan español.
