Overview
On May 1st, 1915 the Lusitania set sail on its final voyage. That it was sunk by a German U-boat will be news to few¿and Larson¿s challenge is to craft a historical narrative leading up to the thrilling, if known, conclusion, building anticipation in his readers along the way. To his credit, he makes the task look easy. Focusing on the politics of WWI, on nautical craftsmanship and strategy, and on key players in the eventual attack and sinking of the ¿fast, comfortable, and beloved¿ Lusitania, Larson once again illustrates his gift for seducing us with history and giving it a human face. Dead Wake puts readers right aboard the famous Cunard liner and keeps them turning the pages until the book¿s final, breathless encounter.
