Über diesen Titel

Sir Roger David Casement was a British public servant celebrated for his groundbreaking Congo Report (1904) and Putumayo Report (1912), which unveiled the horrific atrocities inflicted by white traders on indigenous populations. In 1912, he returned to his homeland of Ireland, where his Ulster Protestant roots aligned him with the predominantly Catholic Irish Nationalists. During World War I, he sought German military assistance for their cause, leading to his arrest, trial, and execution for treason in 1916. Gun Running for Casement recounts the gripping true story of a clandestine German military operation aimed at smuggling captured Russian weapons into Ireland during the Easter Rising. This narrative is penned by Karl Spindler, the German naval officer who orchestrated the mission. (Summary by Brian Fullen)
