After the Lusitania’s destruction, the British Admiralty claims that Captain Turner is culpable for the ship’s sinking. Do you believe that Captain Turner is responsible for the Lusitania’s destruction? Why or why not? Use specific examples from the text to support your argument.
At the end of the book, Larson suggests that the British Admiralty may have intentionally left the Lusitania unprotected, hoping that an attack on the ship would push the United States to enter the war. Do you agree with Larson’s argument? What evidence in the book supports or disputes this claim?
