Horrors and Atrocities of the Great War / Including the Tragic Destruction of the Lusitania

The volume compiles contemporary reports, eyewitness testimonies, and opinion essays about wartime violence, centering on the sinking of the Lusitania and its repercussions. It presents survivor narratives, investigative findings and rebuttals, and contributions from journalists and authors surveying land and sea operations: submarine warfare, trench combat, bombardment of undefended towns, and the deliberate destruction of churches and cultural landmarks. The pieces document civilian casualties, refugee flows, maritime tragedies, and disruptions to commerce and learning, and they frame these developments as a pressing humanitarian and moral crisis raised by modern industrialized warfare.
