Reconstructed from hundreds of survivors' accounts and naval documents and with a new preface that puts to rest several theories about the cargo of the fated ship, The Last Voyage of the Lusitania chronicles one of the greatest sea tragedies of all time. Though it took only eighteen minutes for the Lusitania to sink, this event changed the course of world history by bringing America into the First World War. A new generation of readers interested in American history will welcome this updated edition of the Hoehlings' classic account of the Lusitania.
