Default 'Dead Wake' By Erik Larson

Hi all,


Just wondering if anyone else has read this. Haven't done Larson before, but it's a really interesting look from the perspectives of the crew of the 'Lusitania', the passengers, and the crew of U-20. Alot of work put into researching quotes, accounts, and logs of the captains involved.

Yes, read this a while back. Larson is an excellent writer, I have read most of his books. Dead Wake examines the course of the Lusitania and U-20, American
isolationism and British intelligence. Very good book.

I also recommend The Devil in the White City and Thunderstruck, you will be happy to get into these.
