In 1915 the Lusitania was torpedoed and 1,198 civilian lives were lost. This book portrays the great liner as a ship with hostile intent that smuggled munitions from America to England. Churchill failed to safeguard the liner and then scapegoated Captain Turner for negligence. This book offers the most compelling theory to date based on new discoveries.
