Part 2 of our 4-part series on the Columbia Eagle mutiny in 1970, perhaps the most spectacular act of resistance to the Vietnam war, when two sailors hijacked their ship transporting thousands of tonnes of napalm for US forces, and sailed it to Cambodia. Part of our first season of WCH Crime, the podcast where true crime meets the struggle for a better world.
