Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania
The sinking of the Lusitania is a story that many of us think we know but we don't; Erik Larson tells it thrillingly, switching between hunter and hunted while painting a larger portrait of America at the height of the Progressive Era.
Full of glamour, mystery, and real-life suspense, Dead Wake captures the sheer drama and emotional power of a disaster that helped place America on the road to war, and whose intimate details and true meaning have long been obscured by history.
"Larson is one of the modern masters of popular narrative nonfiction." -- The New York Times Book Review
