Patriot Traitors: Roger Casement, John Amery And The Real Meaning Of Treason (2001) By Adrian Weale
 
Adrian Weale illuminates one of the darkest corners of recent British history as he compares the careers of Casement and Amery - two British citizens who were executed for High Treason. Both men were ineffectual traitors and more of a burden to the Germans than an asset. Casement was known to be a naive idealist and Amery a "moral imbecile" yet both men were made to hang. Drawing on recently released MI5 files, Weale shows how the threat of these men lay not in what they did but in who they were: misfits from the heart of the British establishment. In doing so, Weale is moved to consider the real meaning of treason and its punishments.
