Roger Casement Human Rights Hero by Gaye Shortland This biography tells the story of Roger Casement, a man who dedicated his life to fighting for human rights. He exposed the cruel treatment of native people in Africa and South America, forcing them to work in harsh conditions for greedy companies. His bravery earned him a knighthood from the British Empire. However, Casement's greatest wish was to free his own country, Ireland, from British rule. In 1916, he attempted to bring arms to Ireland by submarine, but his plans were discovered and he was arrested and tried for treason. This book provides an in-depth look at Casement's life and work, shedding light on a pivotal moment in Irish history.
