Inglis, Brian - ROGER CASEMENT(Hodder & Stoughton , 1973 1st ed)
448 Pages
Born Dublin 1864 into Ulster Protestant family, author of controversial 1904 report condemning Belgian Congo as ruthless colonial exploitation and in 1910 a similarly damning indictment of the British treatment of the natives of the Upper Amazon. Most controversially, he went to Germany in 1914 and secured a treaty from Bethmann-Hollweg giving formal recognition to Irish independence. Returning to Ireland in in a U-boat in 1916 he was captured, sentenced to death for treason and hanged - making him an instant Sinn Fein saint. On top of all that, `Black Diaries` hinted that this knighted traitor to the Crown was a practising closet homosexual. Edwardian England was agog! Illustrated.
