Amy asked Erik Larson:

Dear Mr. Larson, I just read "Dead Wake" and felt like to understood the political situation surrounding the Lusitania and World War I for the first time. I was captivated by your portrait of our somewhat distracted president at this time. When researching for your books, how do you decide which historical players to include and which to leave out?

Rae Colley asked Erik Larson:

Like you appear to be, I am fascinated by oceans and their possibilities. I went through a huge Titanic fixation many years ago. Why do you think the Lusitania has never provoked a similar level of international obsession?
