New York, NY, U.S.A.: Ballantine Books, 1974. Mass Market Paperback. Near Fine. First Edition. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Colin Simpson, using classified documents, uncovers the real truth surrounding the disaster.that the Lusitania sank from an explosion of her munitions cargo, not from the torpedo, and that she was probably left unescorted deliberately in the hope that her sinking would bring the United States into the war! The Lusitania is a shocking account of one of the most monumental exercises in political cynicism and subterfuge ever to be read. "Friday, May 7, 1915. The British passenger liner Lusitania was torpedoed by the German sub U-20 off the southwest coast of Ireland. She sank within 18 minutes, with the loss of some 1200 men, women, and children, many of them American." 280 pages. 32 pages of photographs. Some light rubbing on top of spine and some places on outside edges. Spine is creased. A 1" crease on rear cover bottom edge and a 1/4" crease across the rear cover bottom left corner..
