Synopsis
He could tell you things! Things I’ve tried to forget; thing I never did know.” Joseph Conrad “…his was a heroic nature. I should like to write upon him subtly, so that his enemies would think I was with them till they finished my book and rose from reading it to call him a hero. He has the appeal of a broken archangel.” T.E. Lawrence British Consul Roger Casement was knighted in 1911 for his investigations into the genocide of trival peoples in the Congo Free State and Amazon rainforest. Five years later he was hanged for hils role in Ireland’s Easter Rising. The publication of The Amazon Journal of Roger Casement explodes the myth of the controversial and sexual explicit “Black Diaries” which played a leading role in his downfall, raising disturbing questions about his staged trial, the assassination of his character and subsequent execution that will resound to the very depths of Anglo-Irish history.

Review
"...a valuable and deeply detailed edition of Casement's Amazon journal..."
-- Roy Foster, "The Times Literary Supplement", 24 September 2008
From the Back Cover
"He could tell you things! Things I've tried to forget; things I never did know." Joseph Conrad
"... his was a heroic nature. I should like to write upon him subtly, so that his enemies would think I was with them until they finished my book and rose from it to call him a hero. He has the appeal of a broken archangel." T.E. Lawrence
"This is a book of the very greatest interest ... It describes the work of Sir Roger Casement as an investigator of genocide amongst the Amerindians of the north-west Amazon. Sadly, genocide among the Amazon Indians has continued until recent times but external investigations of this kind have been rare. The way in which Sir Roger carried out his work is relevant to all kinds of humanitarian and whistle-blowing activities." Richard Bourne (Survival International)
