Excerpt from Fair Lusitania There is therefore but little real Sympathy between the two nations, and the English character is, con Sequently, as much misunderstood and misrepresented by the Portuguese as is their own by the people of England.

Excerpt from The Lusitania's Last Voyage: Being a Narrative of the Torpedoing and Sinking of the R. M. S. Lusitania by a German Submarine Off the Irish Coast May 7, 1915 Friday noon (may 7) we made only 462 miles. This was partly accounted for by the fact that we picked up Greenwich time at Cape Clear and put the clock ahead 1 hour and 40 minutes. The reason this small run impressed itself upon my mind was that I expected that when we sighted the Irish Coast the Lucy would show a burst of top speed and that we should go flying up at not less than Q5 miles an hour. The run up to Thursday noon (may 6) had been 484 miles, and so confident was I that she would put on steam that I bought the high number in the pool (for Friday), which was 499. It was the only pool I went into and I couldn't help it, for the number sold at and at that price it looked like a bargain.

Excerpt from The Tragedy of the Lusitania: Embracing Authentic Stories by the Survivors and Eye-Witnesses of the Disaster, Including Atrocities on Land and Sea, in the Air, Etc To All human beings of normal mentality it must have seemed that the destruction of the Lusitania marked the apex of horror. There is, indeed nothing in modern history - nothing, at least, since the Black Hole of Calcutta, and some of the indescribable atrocities of Kurdish fanatics - to supply the mind with a vantage ground from which to measure the causeless and profitless savagery of this black deed of murder. It is to be conceded that during war stern measures are justified against an enemy's forces; that this ship, carrying contraband, was subject to capture, and, in certain contingencies, to destruction. Yet the facts remain untouched in all their diabolical barbarity - that an unarmed vessel laden with nearly 2,000 noncombatants was attacked without an instant's warning; that not even a minute's grace was allowed for the removal of the passengers or crew; that the murderous thrust was given with full knowledge that it meant the slaughter of hundreds of women and children, and that this butchery was the deliberately planned act of a government which but recently was accepted as an exemplar of national sanity and humane civilization. The world was soon to learn, however, that the premeditated act did not sound the depths of soulless ferocity of which the dehumanized mind of man is capable. There has been manifested something more revolting than the sickening murder of 1,150 helpless men and women and children, and that is the frightful chorus of jubilation which burst from German throats to greet the news of massacre.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author and master of narrative nonfiction comes the enthralling story of the sinking of the Lusitania “Both terrifying and enthralling.”—Entertainment Weekly “Thrilling, dramatic and powerful.”—NPR “Thoroughly engrossing.”—George R.R. Martin On May 1, 1915, with WWI entering its tenth month, 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 surprisingly at ease, even though Germany had declared the seas around Britain to be a war zone. For months, German U-boats had brought terror to the North Atlantic. But the Lusitania was one of the era’s great transatlantic “Greyhounds”—the fastest liner then in service—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. 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. 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 and suspense, Dead Wake brings to life a cast of evocative characters, from famed Boston bookseller Charles Lauriat to pioneering female architect Theodate Pope to President Woodrow 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 whose intimate details and true meaning have long been obscured by history.

On May 7, 1915, toward the end of her 101st eastbound crossing, from New York to Liverpool, England, R.M.S. Lusitania-pride of the Cunard Line and one of the greatest ocean liners afloat-became the target of a terrifying new weapon and a casualty of a terrible new kind of war. Sunk off the southern coast of Ireland by a torpedo fired from the German submarine U-20, she exploded and sank in eighteen minutes, taking with her some twelve hundred people, more than half of the passengers and crew. Cold-blooded, deliberate, and unprecedented in the annals of war, the sinking of the Lusitania shocked the world. It also jolted the United States out of its neutrality and hastened the nation's entry into World War I. In her riveting account of this enormous and controversial tragedy, Diana Preston recalls both a pivotal moment in history and a remarkable human drama. The story of the Lusitania is a window on the maritime world of the early twentieth century: the heyday of the luxury liner, the first days of the modern submarine, and the climax of the decades-long German-British rivalry for supremacy of the Atlantic. Above all, it is the story of the passengers and crew on that fateful voyage-a story of terror and cowardice, of self-sacrifice and heroism, of death and miraculous survival.
