One of the most tragic figures from the revolutionary period was Roger Casement, global humanitarian, Irish rebel, hung as a traitor.
A new biography provides a fascinating account of this complex figure and the times he lived in.

The book’s author, Ronald Phillips is this week’s guest on the podcast.
