Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "And they thought we wouldn't fight" is the wartime memoir of Floyd Gibbons, the war correspondent for the Chicago Tribune during World War I. Sent by the Tribune to England to cover the war, the book covers the dramatic events that led to the sinking of the ship he had sailed in, The Laconia. Gibbons was rescued and brought into Queenstown. He opened the cables and flashed to America the most powerful call to arms to the American people. It shook the country. It was the testimony of an eye witness and it accused the Imperial German Government, beyond all reasonable doubt, of the wilful and malicious murder of American citizens. The Gibbons story furnished the proof of the overt act and it was unofficially admitted at Washington that it was the determining factor in sending America into the war one month later.
