This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. This book is through the survivors point of view Excellent account of the tragedy. Many photographs. List of passengers.Hardcover book. This sounds horrible, but I am fascinated by these disaster books. Having read quite a few, I have to rate this 3 stars only. It seems like somewhat of a vanity project by the author. He readily admits to creating entire scenes out of whole cloth. This disaster does not have a definitive villain either. Appearances are both ships made...
