Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania by Erik Larson

Join us for a friendly discussion with a group of people who love to read and discuss good books. Scheduled to meet monthly on the second Saturday, newcomers are always welcome to join the group.

For May we will be reading Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania by Erik Larson. The story of the sinking of the Lusitania is one that many of us think we know but don’t, and Erik Larson tells it thrillingly, switching between hunter and hunted while painting a larger portrait of America at the height of the Progressive Era. Full of glamour and suspense, Dead Wake brings to life a cast of evocative characters and captures the sheer drama and emotional power of a disaster whose intimate details and true meaning have long been obscured by history.
