Valiant Gentlemen by Sabina Murray

4.0

I really enjoyed this book, though I subtracted a star for this edition because it was clear that the editing was incomplete and I was disappointed in how superficial Casement's humanitarian work was covered. Initially I hoped the author would make up for this by putting more focus on his Irish work. Unfortunately this was not the case. However, the relationship between Casement and Ward, as well as the POV sections from Sarita created a very interesting an full narrative. Ideally this should be read either with or shortly after reading The Dream of the Celt. That book is slightly less exciting and engaging in the way this book is, however, it gives a very focused narrative concerning Casement's humanitarian work. It will certainly help the reader understand all the event going on in the background.
