LUSITANIA Triumph, Tragedy, and the End of the Edwardian Age

This audiobook tells the story of the LUSITANIA, a ship that many associate with WWI but know little about. The authors fill that void by giving form to the ship's glamorous passengers, whose lives ended as the result of a German torpedo. Narrator Johnny Heller delivers the stories of the rich and famous with the cadence and tone of a news anchor who is informing the world of the tragedy. Heller's rhythmic style complements the book, which reads more like a novel than history. The richness of the text, as brought to life by Heller, makes this a worthwhile glimpse of a frequently overlooked chapter in history. D.J.S. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2015]
