4.0 out of 5 stars THE OTHER TITANIC, February 28, 2006

By 

Severin Olson (Hyattsville, Maryland United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: The last voyage of the Lusitania, (Mass Market Paperback)

The Lusitania, well known as it is, never received the attention and glory bestowed on Titanic. This is partly because the former was not an 'unsinkable' ship on its maiden voyage. It also sank in a mere eighteen minutes, too quickly for passengers or others later to spend much time pondering how they would react. But the Lusitania was involved in a great war, and so its importance is in many ways greater than Titanic's.

Hoehling tells the story of the sinking with special attention paid to the plight of passengers. His book also focuses more on the American side of the story. The First World War, international politics, and German strategy are largely ignored here. These things are covered in many other books however. Lucy fans may well wish to read Hoehling's book alongside other leading publications about the 'other Titanic'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still Worth a Read, January 2, 2008

By 

Child of Herodotus (Allentown, Pa.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Last Voyage of the Lusitania (Paperback)

Originally published in 1956, this book has been perhaps superseded as the definitive account of the sinking, but it remains THE classic book on the Lusitania. It has a you-are-there immediacy that just cannot be matched. What Walter Lord's A Night to Remember did for the Titanic, this book does for the Lusitania.
