Synopsis
A LATIN AMERICAN TRUE CRIME CLASSIC IN ENGLISH FOR THE FIRST TIME
On the evening of 9th June 1956 in an apartment in Buenos Aires, a dozen men were arrested on suspicion of plotting against the Argentine government. A few hours later, the local police chief received the order to execute them. Almost all were innocent.
Operation Massacre recreates the events of that night and its aftermath in dramatic detail, from the horrifying, botched execution to the author's successful efforts to track down the survivors and bring the perpetrators to justice.
Pre-dating Capote's In Cold Blood by over a decade, Operation Massacre is the original work of modern true crime. Walsh combines a passion for the truth with a novelist's flair for storytelling. This -- his most celebrated work -- is a masterpiece of reportage, admired by writers as diverse as Jorge Luis Borges and Gabriel Garcia Márquez.

About the Author
The grandson of Irish immigrants, Rodolfo Walsh was born in a small Patagonian town in 1927. He wrote crime fiction and worked as a translator before publishing Operación Masacre in 1957. He traveled to Cuba in the midst of the revolution and launched a newspaper with Gabriel García Márquez, among others. Upon his return to Argentina in 1961 he was shunned by the journalistic community for his connections to the Cuban Revolution. In 1972, Walsh updated Operación Masacre for the fourth and final time before joining the radical Peronist group, the Montoneros, the following year. A day after submitting his now famous 1977 Open Letter from a Writer to the Military Junta, Walsh was gunned down in the street by agents of the State.
