Dead Wake

Erik Larson’s “Dead Wake” plunges readers into the harrowing final voyage of the Lusitania. With his trademark blend of meticulous research and gripping narrative, Larson brings to life the passengers, crew, and historical figures caught in the crosshairs of World War I. As the liner steams towards its fate, tension mounts, and personal stories intertwine with global events. I found myself holding my breath, even knowing the outcome. A riveting tale that haunted me long after the last page.
