«Lusitania» is Erik Larson's historical essay on the sinking of the ocean liner, published by Editorial Ariel in hardback (450 pages, in Spanish).
The book reconstructs the sinking of the Lusitania, a luxury ocean liner torpedoed by a German submarine on 7 May 1915. Larson investigates the truth behind the tragedy, which cost the lives of some 1,200 people, and the questions surrounding it: whether the ship carried weapons for Britain and whether the event pushed the United States to enter the First World War.
Published in 2015, translated by Ana Herrera Ferrer.
For readers interested in twentieth-century history and the First World War.
