About the book
Erik Larson reconstructs the last voyage of the Lusitania, the ocean liner that sailed from New York for Liverpool on May 1, 1915, with a record number of children and infants aboard, after Germany had declared the waters around Britain a war zone. Captain William Thomas Turner trusted his ship's speed and the gentlemanly rules of war that for a century had kept civilian vessels safe. Larson moves between hunter and hunted, following the U-boat U-20 under Walther Schwieger, which a secret British intelligence unit tracked without warning anyone. The cast includes Boston bookseller Charles Lauriat, architect Theodate Pope and a grieving President Woodrow Wilson. The book won the 2015 Goodreads Choice Award for History & Biography.
