The passengers were anxious. Germany had declared the seas around Britain to be a war zone, and for months, its U-boats had brought terror to the North Atlantic. But the Lusitania was one of the era's great transatlantic "Greyhounds" and her captain, William Thomas Turner, placed tremendous faith in the gentlemanly strictures of warfare that for a century had kept civilian ships safe from attack. He knew, moreover, that his ship -- the fastest then in service -- could outrun any threat. Germany, however, was determined to change the rules of the game, and Walther Schwieger, the captain of Unterseeboot-20, was happy to oblige. Meanwhile, an ultra-secret British intelligence unit tracked Schwieger's U-boat, but told no one. As U-20 and the Lusitania made their way toward Liverpool, an array of forces both grand and achingly small -- hubris, a chance fog, a closely guarded secret, and more -- all converged to produce one of the great disasters of history. 526 8 $a Accelerated Reader AR $c 8.6 $d 20.0 $z 185200. 610 20 $a Lusitania (Steamship) 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Naval operations, German. 650 0 $a Shipping $x History $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 1 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Naval operations, German. 650 5 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Casualties 610 27 $a Lusitania (Steamship) $2 cct 650 7 $a Shipping $x Government policy $z Great Britain $y 20th century. $2 cct 650 7 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Naval operations, German. $2 cct 610 27 $a Lusitania (Steamship) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00537553 650 7 $a Military operations, Naval $x German. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710247 650 7 $a Shipping $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01116384 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 610 27 $a Lusitania (Steamship) $2 sears 650 7 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Naval operations. $2 sears 650 7 $a Shipping $x History. $z Great Britain $x History. $2 sears 648 4 $a 1900 - 1999. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 0 $a History. 655 4 $a Narrative non-fiction. 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a History. $2 lcgft 856 42 $3 Book review (H-Net) $u http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showrev.php?id=46492 941 $a 3 $n 1 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20210803114648.0 $n 9 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20210621144444.0 $n 10 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210601110200.0 $n 5 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=284765CCAC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
