Join us for an eye-opening exploration of a little-known chapter of World War II—the Gothic Line Offensive in northern Italy. Fought in the shadows of the Normandy landings, this campaign relied on a remarkable alliance of 25 nations and WWII’s most multiracial army, including soldiers of color from North and South America, Africa, India, Asia and Oceania. Discover how the ghosts of the Gothic Line still haunt Europe and why its lessons matter now more than ever.

The Presenters: Joe Kirwin, a retired Bloomberg journalist and creator of the acclaimed Gothic Line podcast. Solace Wales, author of Braided in Fire: Black GIs and Tuscan Villagers on the Gothic Line.
