Roger Casement by William Bryant
A biography extending from Casement's Irish origins to his work in Africa and South America as British consul. Casement's official reports on the atrocities committed against the rubber gatherers brought him fame and led to reform of the rubber trade in the Congo and the Putumayo. His involvement in the recruitment of Irish prisoners of war to fight against the British during the Great War caused him to be tried for treason and hanged in what is perhaps one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in British history, brought about in part by the leaking of passages from his shockingly homosexual Black Diaries, presented here in almost their entirety.
Bryant, William A.: - William A. Bryant, born and raised in the West Country of England, has devoted his professional life to Waldorf education in South Africa, Europe, and the United States as a teacher of children and adults.
