From the #1 new york times bestselling author and master of narrative nonfiction comes the enthralling story of the sinking of the lusitania
on may 1, 1915, a luxury ocean liner as richly appointed as an english country house sailed out of new york, bound for liverpool, carrying a record number of children and infants the passengers were anxious germany had declared the seas around britain to be a war zone, and for months, its u boats had brought terror to the north atlantic but the lusitania was one of the era's great transatlantic " greyhounds" and her captain, william thomas turner, placed tremendous faith in the gentlemanly strictures of warfare that for a century had kept civilian ships safe from attack he knew, moreover, that his ship the fastest then in service could outrun any threat
germany, however, was determined to change the rules of the game, and walther schwieger, the captain of unterseeboot 20, was happy to oblige meanwhile, an ultra secret british intelligence unit tracked schwieger's u boat, but told no one as u 20 and the lusitania made their way toward liverpool, an array of forces both grand and achingly small hubris, a chance fog, a closely guarded secret, and more all converged to produce one of the great disasters of history
it is a story that many of us think we know but don't, and erik larson tells it thrillingly, switching between hunter and hunted while painting a larger portrait of america at the height of the progressive era full of glamour, mystery, and real life suspense, dead wake brings to life a cast of evocative characters, from famed boston bookseller charles lauriat to pioneering female architect theodate pope riddle to president wilson, a man lost to grief, dreading the widening war but also captivated by the prospect of new love gripping and important, dead wake captures the sheer drama and emotional power of a disaster that helped place america on the road to war

A History of Combat and Culture spans the globe and the centuries to explore the way ideas shape the conduct of warfare. Drawing its examples from Europe, the Middle East, South Asia, East Asia, and America, John A. Lynn challenges the belief that technology has been the dominant influence on combat from ancient times to the present day. In battle, ideas can be more far more important than bullets or bombs. Clausewitz proclaimed that war is politics, but even more basically, war is culture. The hard reality of armed conflict is formed by -- and, in turn, forms -- a culture's values, assumptions, and expectations about fighting. The author examines the relationship between the real and the ideal, arguing that feedback between the two follows certain discernable paths. Battle rejects the currently fashionable notion of a "Western way of warfare" and replaces it with more nuanced concepts of varied and evolving cultural patterns of combat. After considering history, Lynn finally asks how the knowledge gained might illuminate our understanding of the war on terrorism.
