On 7 May 1915 at 2.28 p.m. the great Cunard liner  Lusitania was torpedoed by a German U-Boat. 1201 men, women and children lost their lives.

For more than fifty reas the sinkin has meen proclaimed as an act of naked and brutal aggression against an innocent ship carrying neutral American citizens.

But what was the Lusitania's real carco? Was she in fact built with military purposes in mind? Was she even a pawn in a cynical political stratagem?

Colin Simpson has brought new facts to life, examined fresh evidence and come to some horrifying conclusions. This book shows beyond doubt that the true facts were deliberately concealed and shockingly different.
