Before Titanic, there was Lusitania This unprecedented two-volume set will bring Lusitania's history to life as never before. On 7 May 1915, one of the most legendary liners of the North Atlantic met a terrible end via a German submarine, taking 1,200 passengers and crew to an untimely demise.

The ship's memory quickly became mired in a firestorm of international politics, accusations over blame overshadowing both the human tragedy and pre-tragedy triumph of this beautiful ship,filled with technical wonders and firsts. This volume, the second in a two-volume set, tells Lusitania's story through the Great War, to her violent sinking and the repercussions in her wake.
