Remember the Lusitania!

Drawing on the research from her Lusitania: An Epic Tragedy, aimed at adults, Diana Preston charts the ship's course for a younger audience in Remember the Lusitania! Here she focuses on the stories of three children who survived the torpedoing of the British ship (by a German submarine) on its voyage from New York to Liverpool, England in 1915. Vintage photos and illustrations portray the doomed vessel and her passengers. The final chapter follows the fates of the three children and other featured passengers; an epilogue recounts the incident's role in the United States' entry into WWI.
