This is a riveting account of the ill-fated 1915 voyage of the British luxury liner, sunk by a German submarine. Relying on original sources and interviews, Preston focuses on the experiences of four young survivors (and one adult). This book effectively juxtaposes daily life on a steamship, the conditions on a cramped submarine, and the horrific aftermath of the torpedo attack. Black-and-white maps, diagrams, archival photos. Bib., ind.
