Lusitania - An Epic Tragedy

"This is the most comprehensive account of the sinking of the Lusitania that I have ever seen. Anyone seeking a full explanation of its historical importance need look no further" - Dan van der Vat author of "Pearl Harbour: The Day of Infamy"

Author, Diana Preston draws upon a vast array of sources including interviews with survivors, letters and memoirs, recently released American and Admiralty archives, previously untranslated german documents and diving expeditions to the wreck.

The lifejacket from the Lusitania pictured on the front cover was found in the Delaware River near Philadelphia five years after the Lusitania was sunk.
