The Forgotten Massacre at Dartmoor Prison (1815) w/ Nick Guyatt - a podcast by Jody Avirgan & Radiotopia

from 2022-04-07T08:30

:: ::

It’s April 7th. This day in 1815, a chaotic attack at Dartmoor prison in England killled and injured dozens of American prisoners.



Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by historian Nicholas Guyatt to discuss why American prisoners of war were in Dartmoor even after the end of the War of 1812 — and how both the US and UK governments papered over the tragedy.



Nick’s new book, out now, is called “The Hated Cage.” Follow him on twitter for information about his US speaking dates.
