Lusitania: The Cultural History of a Catastrophe, Jasper, Willi. Published by Yale University Press, 2016. First US edition. Translated from the German original of 2015 by Stewart Spencer. 233pp. with 16 pages of drawings, political cartoons, posters, photos. Black boards with gilt titles, red endpapers. Volume is in fine condition; unclipped jacket has very light shelf wear. “Drawing on varied German sources, historian Willi Jasper provides a comprehensive reappraisal of the [Lusitania] sinking and its aftermath that focuses on the German reaction and psyche. The attack on the Lusitania, he argues, was not simply an escalation of violence but signaled a new ideological, moral, and religious dimension in the struggle between German Kultur and Western civilization. A fascinating reassessment of a turning point in the First World War.
