This is arguably the definitive book on the sinking of the Titanic. It really was wonderful, but I wish it had been longer with even more information. However, you really do get a good sense of how this tragedy happened, how quickly it happened, and why the rescue response to this sinking giant was too little and too late. If you are at all interested in the Titanic, this is a must-read, since it is pretty much the backbone of Titanic histories.

If you read one book on the Titanic, this is the one it should be. It stays with you long after the last page.

I have a "thing" for books about the Titanic. While short, this is one of my favorite books on the subject.
