A review by amsswim
Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania by Erik Larson

adventurous emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

4.25

I am a big reader of non-fiction in general, but I could see Erik Larson being very accessible to those who don't or find non-fiction more difficult. Similar to his most known book, The Devil in the White City, the information and interaction of the people it follows feels like a narrative and not just a retelling. Vivid and simple to understand, and in my opinion very interesting.
