A short summary of the book Dead Wake:
The events leading to the sinking of the Lusitania and the United States' entry into WWI
My favorite quote from the book:
"If you were saved it is because you have still something to do in this world."
(written by Mary Cassatt to her friend and Lusitania survivor Theodate Pope Riddle)
Questions I pondered while reading Dead Wake:
Can any argument really be worth 15 million deaths (WWI total)?
Why do we develop weapons like these?
My thoughts about Dead Wake:
Remember the 1,198 who died.
War is so dumb.
Why is collateral damage deemed acceptable?
