One of the enduring depates in Irish history is over the authenticity of the 'Black Diaries' of Roger Casement - the Irish patriot executed by the English as a traitor in 1916. These diaries were circulated during Casement's trial in order to implicate him in profligate homosexual behaviour and dissuade influential people from speaking out against his execution. The 1910 black diary is available online; mostly featuring entries from Casement's trip to the Amazon basin, it makes for an interesting read.
