A monthly book discussion.

Discuss Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania by Erik Larson.

Dead Wake recounts the final voyage of the British ocean liner Lusitania and the German U-boat campaign that led to its sinking in 1915. Through vivid narrative and personal perspectives, Larson shows how the disaster helped shift American public opinion and pushed the United States closer to entering World War I.
