In prose that is darkly funny and alive with aspect, Valiant Gentlemen reimagines the lives and seductive friendships of humanitarian and Irish patriot Roger Casement; his closest good friend, Herbert Ward; and Ward's outstanding better half, the Argentinian American heiress Sarita Sanford. Valiant Gentlemen requires the listener on an intimate voyage from Ward and Casement's misadventurous youth in the Congo - where, among other activities, they bore witness with an Irish whiskey heir's preference for cannibalism - to Ward's matrimony to Sarita and their flourishing family life in France to Casement's covert homosexuality and enduring nomadic lifestyle floating between his work over the African continent and involvement in Irish politics. When World Battle I breaks away, Casement and Ward's longstanding political variations finally come to a head, so when Ward and his teenage sons leave to combat on the frontlines for Great britain, Casement begins to work alongside the Germans to help free Ireland from English rule. What results is tragic and riveting, as both men are compelled to confront notions of love and betrayal in the face of the significantly different monitors their lives took.
