This book was amazing. It was both fascinating and heartbreaking. It really showed the effects and horrors of colonialism.

#day2 of #booktober and it turns out I've read way too few books from South America. But I did read the remarkable story of Roger Casement's life. Executed as one of the leaders of Ireland's 1916 Rising, Casement spent decades of his life fighting for social justice in The Congo and Amazonia where he uncovered atrocities committed in the name of progress. Amazing read #bookssetinsamerica
