Roger Casement, the retired British consular official tried for
treason and executed for securing German rifles to help the 1916
Rising in Ireland, has been a focus of controversy since the 1930s,
with specific reference to the so-called Black diaries allegedly
forged by British intelligence in c.1916. Forensic tests on the
diaries commissioned by a committee chaired by W.J. McCormack have
now shown that the diaries were written by Casement. This work is
centred on W.J. Maloney, whose 1936 book, "The Forged Casement
Diaries", brought the topic to the attention of the Irish public,
and was part of an Irish-American campaign to influence the
domestic politics of the Irish Free State. The book raises
questions about intelligence work, archival engineering, IRA
unofficial action, Nazi propaganda and new light is shed on major
figures such as Eamon de Valera and W.B. Yeats, as well as on a
cast of colourful bit players.
