Beyond the Trenches: Atrocity on the Atlantic

Sunday, June 28, 2026 | 2 p.m. Central Zoom Conference

HMHS Llandovery Castle—a Canadian hospital ship—was intentionally torpedoed by a German U-boat on June 27, 1918. News of the attack ignited global outrage and led to a watershed verdict at the 1921 Leipzig War Crime Trials. That ruling set many of the guiding precedents for the Nuremberg Trials and helped form the legal foundation of the International Criminal Court. 

Dive into the details of an event that continues rippling international law with author Nate Hendley as he presents his newest book “Atrocity on the Atlantic.”
