Add a CommentThis is one of the best TITANIC books. It is well written and fascinating.
An excellent book on the 'human story' of the Titanic. Highly recommended to anyone interested in this tragedy.
100 years later and we are still fascinated by the scope of this tragedy. This book focuses on the stories of the people that were on the Titanic. An easy interesting read with plenty of photographs.
