Prelude to the Easter Rising casts light upon the clandestine
activities of Sir Roger Casement in Imperial Germany from 1914 to
1916. German military intelligence and the Imperial Foreign Office
had far-reaching plans to use the Irish in the war against Britain.
Radical Irish-American leaders were behind Casement's mission to
Berlin. It took some time for the highly sensitive and idealistic
Casement to realise that neither the German General Staff nor the
Imperial Chancellor was able, or willing, to lend full military
support to the Irish. When Casement began to see that the rising
would be a bloody massacre, he left for Ireland to halt the fatal
development and, if necessary, sacrifice his own honour and life.
The carefully edited documents contained in this volume, mostly
from the German Foreign Office archives in Bonn, present a full
record of Casement's activities prior to Easter 1916. Over 80 years
later, these papers have lost none of their emotional immediacy.
