His true character has been a source of mystification and of passionate contention. This new biography, which never loses sight of the suffering human being behind the roles ascribed to him-martyr, traitor, flawed hero, moral degenerate-offers a vivid, compassionate, and conclusive analysis of Casement and of his career.
