On May 7,1915 at 2.28pm the great Cunarder LUSITANIA sank off the Old Head of Kinsale eighteen minutes after being torpedoed by German submarine U-20; 1201 men,women and children died - many US citizens.The official version said this innocent passenger liner wantonly sunk by two or more torpedos in contravention of international agreements.Simpson discovered - the LUSITANIA's stated purpose in the event of war,the real nature of her cargo and equipment,about British Secret Service operations in US, about the use and non-use of evidence at the subsequent British and American official enquiries - led to the writing of this explosive book.Tells in fascinating and circumstantial detail the story of LUSITANIA's construction,her last voyage,sinking,and the aftermath viewed against a background of British naval policy,US diplomacy,and backstage governmental activities.For more than 50 years,Lusitania's sinking proclaimed as an act of naked and brutal aggression against an innocent ship carrying citizens of a neutral country; this book shows beyond doubt that the true facts were deliberately concealed and shockingly different.
