Best biography and piece of nonfiction that I've ever had the pleasure to read about the Titanic and her sister ship.
What is unique is the evidence, the attention to details, the laundry list of passengers and their individual quoted statements, as well as the history of the time frame in question.
This was a time of great hardships, adversity, privilege for the chosen few, and inequalities.
It's a story of various 'classes' of people, the government ruling, the power of the chosen ones.
It's also a story about a ship that many believed was unsinkable yet when tragedy struck the conspiracies swirled.
If you ever had doubts you must read this one!
The social inequalities, the romances, the layout of the ship, the lack of life vests on board, the way the ship broke off in two, it's all in here.
I can't think of a greater gift to give this holiday than a copy of this book.
What a remarkable achievement for this amazing author!
