Viac o knihe Wilful Murder
An investigation of that other great ocean-liner tragedy: the sinking of the Lusitania.On
May 7th, 1915, a passenger ship crossing the Atlantic sank with the
loss of 1200 lives. On board were some world-famous figures, including
multimillionaire Alfred Vanderbilt. But this wasn’t the Titanic and
there was no iceberg. The liner was the Lusitania and it was torpedoed
by a German U-boat.Using first-hand accounts of the tragedy,
the author brings the characters to life, recreating the splendour of
the liner as it set sail, and the horror of its final moments. Using
British, American and German research material, the book answers many
of the outstanding and controversial questions surrounding the
Lusitania: why didn’t Cunard listen to warnings that the ship would be
a target of the Germans? Was the Lusitania sacrificed to bring the
Americans into the War? What was really in the Lusitania’s hold? Had
Cunard’s offices been infiltrated by German agents? And did the
Kaiser’s decision to cease unrestricted U-boat warfare
