From the #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author and master of narrative non-fiction comes the enthralling story of the sinking of the Lusitania, published to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the disaster. 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. Gripping and important, DEAD WAKE captures the sheer drama and emotional power of a disaster that helped place America on the road to war.
