Fascinating review of the events surrounding the sinking of the Lusetania. I started this one and for some unknown reason back-burnered it. So glad I picked it back up and finished it.
My father was always fascinated with ship travel and ship wrecks and I grew up with many books about both peppering the big coffee table in our living room. The Lusetania was featured in amongst those familiar books. Dead Wake humanizes the disaster by delving into the stories of many of the passengers, the captain, and key political players. Well researched and well written. (And Dad would have LOVED it!)
