Podcast Guest: Nate Hendley
Journalist and author Nate Hendley joins the podcast to explore one of the most shocking war crimes of the First World War—the sinking of the Canadian hospital ship Llandovery Castle by a German U-boat in 1918.
Drawing from his new book, Atrocity on the Atlantic, published by Dundurn Press, Hendley recounts the events surrounding the torpedoing of the clearly marked medical vessel, the loss of 234 lives, and the war crimes trial that followed.
