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.
"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. "
