Roberto Marcelo Levingston Laborda (born January 19, 1920 in San Luis) was a member of the Argentine Army, self-appointed as de facto president (i.e., dictator) of Argentina from June 18, 1970 to March 22, 1971. He followed the ruthless military dictatorship of General Onganía (the so-called "Onganiato"), only to be toppled later by General Lanusse when Levingston no longer served Lanusse's purposes. These years marked one of the darkest political chapters of Argentina, only surpassed by the cruel repression, state terrorism, and genocide that accompanied the military dictatorship of General Videla, Massera and others (the so-called "Proceso de Reorganización Nacional", 1976-1983).
