On May 1, 1915, a luxury ocean liner as richly appointed as an English country house sailed out of New York, bound for Liverpool, carrying a record number of children and infants. 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. It is a story that many of us think we know but don't, and 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 brings to life a cast of evocative characters, from famed Boston bookseller Charles Lauriat to pioneering female architect Theodate Pope Riddle to President Wilson, a man lost to grief, dreading the widening war but also captivated by the prospect of new love. Gripping and important, Dead Wake captures the sheer drama and emotional power of a disaster that helped place America on the road to war. 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 0 $a Audiobooks. 700 1 $a Brick, Scott, $e narrator. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107021317.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=79C5E7A6E25B11E8B947250B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
