One of the best if not the best I ead on the subject!

This book was an interesting mix of history and urban myth debunking. The authors had two purposes: to give an account of the sinking of the Lusitania and also to discredit a previous book that had given rise to many myths surrounding the ship and its sinking. I found the book well researched and written. I truly enjoyed it and learned much. Most facts that I double checked held up, even better.

Don't know yet...just started to read it. From what I've read of the views it looks like it will be a good book. I've also read Simpson's 'Lusitania' so I know in advance all about that book. Seems like it will be interesting...
