Synopsis
On May 7, 1915, toward the end of her 101st eastbound crossing, from New York to Liverpool, England, R.M.S. Lusitania -- pride of the Cunard Line and one of the greatest ocean liners afloat -- became the target of a terrifying new weapon and a casualty of a terrible new kind of war. Sunk off the southern coast of Ireland by a torpedo fired from the German submarine U-20, she exploded and sank in eighteen minutes, taking with her some twelve hundred people, more than half of the passengers and crew. Cold-blooded, deliberate, and unprecedented in the annals of war, the sinking of the Lusitania shocked the world. It also jolted the United States out of its neutrality -- 128 Americans were among the dead -- and hastened the nation's entry into World War I.In her account of this enormous and controversial tragedy, Diana Preston recalls both a pivotal moment in history and a remarkable human drama. The story of the Lusitania is a window on the maritime world of the early twentieth century: the heyday of the luxury liner, the first days of the modern submarine, and the climax of the decades-long German-British rivalry for supremacy of the Atlantic. It is a criticalchapter in the progress of World War I and in the political biographies of Woodrow Wilson, William Jennings Bryan, Kaiser Wilhelm II, andFirst Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill. Above all, it is the story of the passengers and crew on that fateful voyage -- a story of terror and cowardice, of self-sacrifice and heroism, of death and miraculous survival.

- c***n (90)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOne of the best on eBay! Truly a wonderful seller. Fast shipping, welling packed, as described, and such value!
- h***0 (2)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe item was incorrectly shipped by the seller the first time. However, the seller quickly made things right by ordering a replacement with quick shipping after being made aware of his/her mistake. The replacement book had come unglued from its spine so the quality was definitely not “good” but this was also not the same item that the seller had advertised but a replacement as stated. I was impressed by the seller’s care and integrity to make things right. I would order from him/her again.A History of Venice by John Julius Norwich (1982, Hardcover) (#404660726350)
