Description
The passenger-liner Lusitania was torpedoed by a German U-boat, one of many throughout the Atlantic at the time. Over 1,200 people perished in this attack, including citizens from the then neutral United States. Many questions, however, still remain: was the liner armed? Was it carrying contraband munitions in a secret effort to aid the Allies? Did the Germans set out from the start to sink the ship? Was it deliberately allowed to be sunk (by the supposedly protective Royal Navy) in order to draw the United States into the war? While answering these questions, Protasio traces the story from the time of the vessel's construction to her demise, and deals with the diplomatic repercussions of the sinking as well as the human side of the story.,--Adapted from publisher description.
