John William Cooke

John William Cooke (14 November 1919 – 19 September 1968) was an Argentine lawyer and politician. An early follower of President Juan Perón, Cooke went on to form part and lead the revolutionary leftist wing of the Peronist movement. Following the 1955 coup d'état, an exiled Perón appointed Cooke as his proxy in Argentina.

From 1955 to his death from lung cancer in 1968, Cooke was a militant leader of the Peronist resistance against proscription by the dictatorial régimes of the ''Revolución Libertadora'' and the ''Revolución Argentina''. His writings on the revolutionary potential of Peronism and his role in the Peronist resistance have led to him becoming the most recognizable face of left-wing Peronism. Provided by Wikipedia
