A fascinating examination of the extraordinary life of Roger Casement, executed as part of the 1916 rising, fighting the empire that had previously knighted him. Ultimately, he was hanged in Pentonville prison on the 3 August- two years to the day after Britain's declaration of war in 1914.
After years of isolation under General Franco, Spain has suddenly blossomed onto the world stage. This portrait captures the essence of Spanish style in 400 specially commissioned color photographs.
The author looks at each of Spain's autonomous regions in turn. He explores the different attitudes and ways of life that have forged such strong local identities, and suggests ways of discovering the country's landscape, cities, local culture and artistic heritage.
