Summary: Good Book
Review: As a Civil War Historian I've become accutely aware of fact vs. fiction and how emotion rips the truth from the printed word. It is pleasureable to say that from my first reading of this book Geoff Tibballs, has not thrown away the facts for fiction. He has instead put together quite a remarkable piece of work, topping it off with the final chapter "The legacy of the Titanic". It's pages are filled with first hand accounts and plenty of descriptive material, leading the reader from the very first thoughts of building the magestic liner to it's tragic and heart felt demise in early morning hours of April 15, 1912. If you're historically minded or just mildly interested and are looking for a quality book on the Titanic that's easy to read and enjoyable to follow, this is the book for you!

Summary: Wonderfully and sensitively written
Review: I have to admit that before I saw the movie Titanic I wasn't very interested. Since I saw the movie a month and a half ago, I have been reading every book on the Titanic I can get my hands on. I loved the way this was written from beginning to end. Most of the other books just go over what we saw in the movie, while this book let's you in on things that happened in 1912 that weren't talked about in the movie. This is a wonderful book and I would recommend it to anyone.
