Description
In early 1911, Sir Roger Casement returned from a five month journey of arduous investigation into atrocities in the Amazon and set to work writing the reports that would expose this tragic crime against humanity and would reveal the darkness at the heart of imperial civilization before the outbreak of the First World War. Richly illustrated with maps and photographs this volume of documents will be a valuable research tool for those investigating the history of human right abuses, ecumenism, postcolonial and Irish studies, as well as Anglo-American diplomacy, Native American culture and socio-economic history in South America.
