On a Sea of Glass: The Life and Loss of the RMS Titanic by Tad Fitch
5.0
This book was phenomenal!
I had heard some of the hype surrounding it as one of, if not the best, non-fiction volume about the famous ocean liner and its tragic sinking. For me this book more than lived up to the acclaim. It was meticulously detailed and thorough, with a wealth of footnotes and appendices for even more information about key aspects like the use of firearms on the night of the sinking, the Californian affair, and the leadership merits of captain Smith.
I would recommend this book to anyone who’s really interested in Titanic history and ready to sink their teeth into an ambitious, complete account of the historic vessel.
