"A novel as vigorous, audacious and unpredictable as Casement himself . . . Murray] translates the past into a present as immediate as it is unnerving." --New York Times Book Review

"Written beautifully, from the point of view of a writer who cares deeply." --Boston Globe

"An imaginative exploration of the tragedy of lost friendship."--Los Angeles Times

A New York Times Top 100 Books of 2016, Valiant Gentlemen is an epic and bold novel of friendship and betrayal set across four continents and a 40 year timespan. Reimagining the lives and intimate friendships of humanitarian and Irish patriot Roger Casement; his closest friend, Herbert Ward; and Ward's wife, the Argentinian-American heiress Sarita Sanford, in Valiant Gentlemen Sabina Murray takes the reader on an intimate journey, from Ward and Casement's misadventurous youth in the Congo to Ward's marriage to Sarita and their flourishing family life in France, to Casement's covert homosexuality and eventual involvement in Irish politics. Valiant Gentlemen is a uniquely human account of some of early 20th century's larger historical figures from a master writer of historical fiction.

"A big, ambitious book . . . Murray is canny in tracing the near-imperceptible stages by which Casement and Ward land on opposite sides of bitterly divisive issues . . . A] wise, illuminating novel."--Washington Post

Heavy duty
I bought these to modify a safe. Very durable I had to cut down a corner and a sawszall had trouble getting through. On top of that they hold a lot of weight without buckling. Buy it.

Great construction but poor mounting hardware
They are great once your put them in but mounting them was a huge pain. The included dry wall anchors are of really bad quality and rips up a huge opening if you have to undo them for whatever reason. But the more infuriating thing is the screws they come with, which is not quite Philips 2 and easily slips from most standard driver bits. It is very easy to strip these if you are not careful. The small amount of space at the corner almost doesn't allow for easy drill access so you might have to get creative. Overall good product, but I will highly recommend buying your own set of wall anchors and screws

Sturdy as heck But NOT easy to install
Because of the angles to install the screws, I'm definitely going to have to say NOT easy to install. Simple in concept; maybe if you have paper-thin walls. But if you don't it is a pain to screw those in with the tools provided. On the upside, they do come with a mini leveler. But it's just not a practical way of screwing in the shelf unless you are prepared to spend a surprising amount of time doing it. The shelves themselves are sturdy but that should be expected since it's basically a sheet of metal.
