"This book, from the previously unpublished manuscript in the
National Library of Ireland, is a valuable and deeply detailed
edition of the diary kept by Casement during his journey into the
South American rainforests. He had been sent by the British
government to report on atrocities against tribal people while
being forced to collect rubber in the Putumayo region in the
north-west Amazon. Genocide among the Amazon Indians has continued,
but external investigations of this kind have been rare. The way in
which Roger Casement carried out his work is still relevant to all
kinds of humanitarian and whistle-blowing activities. It is also a
key text charting Casement's transition from observer to
anti-imperial revolutionary and Irish independence leader,
culminating in his execution by the British government in August
1916 after the Easter Rising."
