High Treason: Roger Casement

High Treason: Roger Casement by Peter Singleton-Gates and Maurice Girodias, explores the life and trial of Sir Roger Casement, a British diplomat turned Irish nationalist. The book details Casement’s work exposing human rights abuses in the Congo, his shift toward Irish independence, and his controversial efforts to seek German aid during World War I. Arrested and tried for treason, his legacy was further complicated by the revelation of the "Black Diaries," which tarnished his reputation. This compelling account examines the complexities of his life, trial, and execution in 1916, and his lasting impact on Irish history.
