by "Patrick OSullivan"
Category: Lusitania (Steamship)

"In May 1915, the RMS Lusitania, then the world's fastest liner, departed from New York. Seven days later she was torpedoed off the Old Head of Kinsale with the loss of 1,198 lives." "The Lusitania was a ship with hostile intent that regularly smuggled munitions from the USA to England using innocent passengers as human shields. Winston Churchill, Britain's political head of the Royal Navy, failed to take steps to safeguard the oncoming liner, known by the Admiralty to be converging on a course with its nemesis, the German submarine U-20. To deflect public attention from the ineptitude of the Admiralty, Churchill scapegoated the unfortunate Captain Turner for negligence." "The second mystery explosion has baffled experts for years: this books offers the most compelling explanation to date based on new discoveries. Botched evidence and attempts at cover-up at the 1918 American Lusitania Tribunal are also revealed. An in-depth study of Bethlehem Steel's munitions invoices has revealed for the first time the exact nature of the Lusitania's munitions cargo."--BOOK JACKET.
