Rodolfo Walsh

Rodolfo Walsh was an Argentine writer, journalist, and political activist known for his significant contributions to literature and investigative journalism. Born in 1927, he became a prominent figure during Argentina's political turmoil, particularly during the military dictatorship from 1976 to 1983. Walsh is famous for his pioneering work in "non-fiction novel" with his book "Operación Masacre," which exposed human rights abuses. His fearless reporting and commitment to social justice made him a symbol of resistance against oppression. Unfortunately, he was disappeared in 1977 by the regime for his activism and critique of state violence, commemorating his legacy as a martyr for truth.
