Am 7. Mai 1915 torpedierte ein deutsches U-boot den Passagierdampfer "Lusitania"; der von New York nach Liverpool unterwegs war. Binnen weniger Minuten versank das Schiff in den eisigen Fluten des Atlantiks und riss fast 1.200 Menschen in den Tod; darunter viele Kinder und Frauen. Mit dieser kaltbluuml;tig herbeigefuuml;hrten Schiffskatastrophe bestauml;tigten die Deutschen ihren Ruf als "Barbaren" und provozierten die USA zum Eintritt in den Ersten Weltkrieg. Gestuuml;tzt auf anschauliche Zeitzeugenberichte und umfangreiches Archivmaterial legt Willi Jasper erstmals eine spannend geschriebene Kulturgeschichte dieses welterschuuml;tternden Ereignisses und seiner Folgen vor.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Funny; but not very informative for the experienced WDW travelerBy Jerrie S. WalkerMy husband and I are planning our fifth trip to WDW for Sept. 2012. We would consider ourselves mini-Mousejunkies. I read the excerpt for this book on and found the authors writing style quite engaging and downright funny at times. Being pretty well versed in all things Disney; we didnt really get many new tips; but for a newbie; this would probably be a helpful read. It is heavy in Epcot. It is obvious that the Mousejunkies enjoy that park the most. We are a Magic Kingdom kind of family and would prefer to have a little more insight there.Overall; I am not disappointed with the book. We read it for the comedy and it did provide us with a little refresher on some of the fun things to do at the World. It has been nice because it has been the first book we are reading to get us amped up for the trip; so the reminder of why we love the place has been joyful. We are reading the second Mousejunkies now; then we will move on to the more serious (and dry) Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2012.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. ... guide book to Walt Disney World - there are better books at that - and the second edition falls ...By Janice B. EdwardsNot a guide book to Walt Disney World - there are better books at that - and the second edition falls down because it tries to be a guide book. The strength of this book is one mans story of how and why he likes Walt Disney World with input from his adult friends who also love Walt Disney World. If you want to go there on vacation; and friends or family object and complain about kiddie rides; give them this book (FIRST edition) so they can see that there is a lot more to do; to see; and ultimately to be happy about.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. This book is entertaining.By MichelleIt is not a traditional guidebook; as others have said. You read it like a book - and I did so quite quickly. I found myself reading passages out loud to my husband; and he wondered if the writer was quoting me. For those that truly love Disney; you will laugh as you read this because you will agree with so much of it. For those who wonder WHY some people love Disney so much - this may give you some insight. This is about of group of adults who fell in love with Disney as childless adults and have since devoted their lives to going "home" as often as possible.I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because I would have liked to hear more about the Mousejunkies experiences after they had children.
