The Biscari Massacre

In this episode Major Darren Johnson, an Active-Duty Infantry Officer teaching history at West Point, joins me again and he graciously volunteered to share the story of the Biscari Massacre for this year's series. It is important when looking at our history that we see when things go wrong and how those situations were handled so that we can learn from this and continue to do better. This is the second part of a two-part episode. The first part discusses using Operation Husky to teach West Point cadets and some of the hard lessons the Allies learned while fighting in Sicily. This is one of about 30 episodes on the Sicily Campaign.
