title: The Amazon Journal of Roger Casement
author: Angus Mitchell
description: (This text, derived from the manuscript in the National Library of Ireland, describes British Consul General, Roger Casement's journey into the South American rainforests to investigate atrocities against tribal people of the north-west Amazon. It follows Casement's transition from observer to anti-imperial revolutionary and Irish patriot, leading to his execution by the British in August 1916 after the failure of the Easter Rising. When he got involved in the Irish war of independence, the British used these so-called Black Diaries to smear his name so that they could execute him)<br />
