The Tattooed Historian Show

Nate Hendley, author of Atrocity on the Atlantic: Attack on a Canadian Hospital Ship During the Great War, joined me to discuss a WWI-era war crime: The sinking of the Llandovery Castle in 1918. I read his book in a matter of hours because it was some new history for me as I had never heard of this incident.

Carol E. Harrison and Thomas J. Brown sat down with me to discuss their amazing book, Zouave Theaters: Transnational Military Fashion and Performance (LSU Press). The comparative and interdisciplinary nature of the book is an epic achievement. As a material culture nerd, I was enthralled!
