Book Reviews of TITANIC, An Illustrated History
Book Review: The greatest guide to the Titanic
Summary: 5 Stars
Although slightly outdated (published in 1994) this book is thoroughly comprehensive history of the ship, its passengers, its builders, its history, its discovery, and its legacy. Amazing pictures and accounts tell the story scrupulously. It is the true story, after all, that has fascinated so many people for so long. From its beauty and extravagant wealth and ironic belief to be unsinkable, to its death on its maiden voyage, to its horrifyingly inadequate lifeboats, to the great human drama and span of human emotions in its final hours, to the self sacrificing to the panicking to the hope and hopelessness, to the reclaiming of nature of the ship. It's just disturbingly fascinating. Interestingly, one of the investigators into the sinking said that more lifeboats wouldn't have saved more people because the existing ones weren't full. So many people on that ship died by choice, in refusing to save themselves, because they didn't want to be parted, or because they refused to properly inform the passengers. One of the most interesting treasures in this book is the last known photograph of the ship as it sails into history. Grade: A-
