An intriguing work of World War I research resurrects the little-known history of a massive German luxury liner that was confiscated and retooled for the American war effort. In this lively look at the history of the Leviathan, once known as the SS Vaterland, the flagship of the Hamburg-American Line, Chicago Tribune editor Hernon (8.4, 1999, etc.), who was also an investigative reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, unearths a fresh aspect of America's war effort. . . . . A wise, elegant study to add to the World War I archives., "This fresh examination of the Great War will be appreciated by general readers and World War I buffs alike." -- Library Journal
