Editorial Reviews

The Titanic looms large in the public imagination, appearing in movies and a Broadway musical. This book is a factual account of the disaster, augmented by the author's suggestion of what the victims might have said or thought. Despite foreknowledge of the conclusion, it is a gripping tale, with clashing egos, heroism, cowardice, and examples of bravery and true love. A center section contains photographs of the crew, the ship and the wreckage. Diagrams of the ship appear at the end, as well as a short section discussing the fate of some of the people mentioned by name in the text.
