Not only is Erik Larson one of America's preeminent historians, he's also a compelling storyteller whose previous books, The Devil in the White City and In the Garden of Beasts, were critically acclaimed bestsellers. Left Bank Books and Maryville University co-sponsor an author event with Larson tonight. His latest book, Dead Wake, chronicles the 1915 sinking of the RMS Lusitania in the North Atlantic by a German U-boat. The maritime attack killed 1,198 passengers (including 128 Americans) and accelerated the United States' entry into World War I.
