Recenzii

A stunning book, incomparably the best on its subject
Walter single-handedly revived interest in the Titanic...an electrifying book
Absolutely gripping and unputdownable
Devotion, gallantry...Benjamin Guggenheim changing to evening clothes to meet
death; Mrs. Isador Straus clinging to her husband, refusing to get in a lifeboat; Arthur Ryerson giving his life belt to his wife's maid...A book to remember

Seamless and skilful...it's clear why this is many a researcher'sTitanicbible
Enthralling from the first word to the last
Moving and extremely well-documented
