Trade Review
“If you think that all that could possibly be written about the tragedy has been put on the page, Willi Jasper’s book might change your mind… Through the prism of this infamous maritime disaster, Jasper detects the upsurge of the nationalism, antisemitism and expansionism that prepared the way for Hitler.”—Ben Wilson, The Times -- Ben Wilson * The Times *
“[An] unusually thought-provoking book . . . you will never think about the loss of the Lusitania quite the same way again . . . this is one of those rare works that immensely broadens our perspective and really alters the way we evaluate a historical event.”—Martin Rubin, Washington Times -- Martin Rubin * Washington Times *
“A fascinating account”—R. W. Lemmons, Choice -- R. W. Lemmons * Choice *
