Dead Wake

Book • 2015
Dead Wake recounts the tragedy of the sinking of the passenger ocean liner Lusitania by a German submarine.

The book sets the stage for the tragedy, recreating the tension of the chase, the horror of the attack, and the tragic aftermath.

Larson masterfully weaves together the stories of the passengers, crew, and the German U-boat crew, using a wealth of sources including telegrams, wireless messages, survivor depositions, and secret intelligence ledgers.

The sinking of the Lusitania had a significant impact on history, mobilizing American public opinion in favor of entering World War I and casting Germany as the villain in the eyes of the international community.
