批評家のレビュー
"A captivating and conscientious narrative...a brilliant account." (Booklist, starred review)
"Few popular historians can marshal facts and place them within their times as vividly as [Preston]." (Chicago Sun-Times)
あらすじ・解説
In her riveting account of this enormous tragedy - which caused controversies that continue to this day - Diana Preston recalls both a pivotal moment in history and a remarkable human drama. With a historian's insight and a novelist's gift for characterization and detail, Preston re-creates the Lusitania's voyage through the eyes of those who experienced it. Passengers included the rich and the powerful and the rest of the human comedy: newlyweds and nursemaids, galley cooks and stokers, Quakers and cardsharks, ship's detectives and German stowaways. Drawing on a vast array of sources including letters and memoirs, Cunard and Admiralty archives, and previously untranslated German documents, Preston weaves their lives into her own dramatic narrative, giving this story a powerful immediacy.
Lusitania: An Epic Tragedy is also available in print from Walker & Company.
Listen to Diana Preston on C-SPAN's Booknotes (June 23, 2002).
