In September 1910, the activist Roger Casement arrived in the
Amazon jungle on a mission for the British government: to
investigate reports of widespread human-rights abuses in the
forests along the Putumayo River. Casement was outraged by what he
uncovered: nearly thirty thousand Indians had died to produce four
thousand tons of rubber for Peruvian and British commercial
interests, under the brutal rubber baron Julio Cesar Arana. In
1912, Casement's seven-hundred-page report of the Putumayo violence
set off reverberations throughout the world. Drawing on a wealth of
original research, "The Devil and Mr. Casement" is a haunting story
of modern capitalism with enormous contemporary political
resonance.
