Explore tips, opinions, and features on Roger Casement Imperialist Rebel Revolutionary sold at 28.75 $ ; this product is listed in the Books & Magazines category, produced by , and sold by Abebooks.com.
Drawing on a trove of official and personal sources O Siochain shows how what began as an ordinary career in the British consular service became a singular crusade on three continents against exploitation cruelty and injustice Roger Casement served in the Niger Mozambique Angola and most momentously in the Congo where he witnessed the appalling crimes under Belgian colonial rule and was a key player in the humanitarian campaign that exposed them forcing King Leopold II to surrender his personal control of the colony Casement later levelled the same moral compass at the depressingly similar exploitation of natives of the Putumayo where as in the Congo outsiders hunger for rubber created misery for an indigenous people His growing interest and involvement in Irish affairs culminating in his attempts to aid the 1916 Rising and his execution for treason is narrated here In an epilogue O Siochain examines the question that has dominated Casements afterlife whether his black diaries detailing homosexual adventures were forged by the British in order to discredit him at his trial for treason and effect a judicial assassination

Find tips, reviews, and features on Tom Paine and Revolutionary America sold for 36.16 $ , available in the Books & Magazines category; this product belongs to and is sold by Abebooks.com.
Since its publication in 1976 Tom Paine and Revolutionary America has been recognized as a classic study of the career of the foremost political pamphleteer of the Age of Revolution and a model of how to integrate the political intellectual and social history of the struggle for American independence Foner skillfully brings together an account of Paines remarkable career with a careful examination of the social worlds within which he operated in Great Britain France and especially the United States He explores Paines political and social ideas and the way he popularized them by pioneering a new form of political writing using simple direct language and addressing himself to a reading public far broader than previous writers had commanded He shows which of Paines views remained essentially fixed throughout his career while directing attention to the ways his stance on social questions evolved under the pressure of events This enduring work makes clear the tremendous impact Paines writing exerted on the American Revolution and suggests why he failed to have a similar impact during his career in revolutionary France It also offers new insights into the nature and internal tensions of the republican outlook that helped to shape the Revolution In a new preface Foner discusses the origins of this book and the influences of the 1960s and 1970s on its writing He also looks at how Paine has been adopted by scholars and politicians of many stripes and has even been called the patron saint of the Internet
