There are some interesting technical details in this book, which might make it worth reading for a Titanic enthusiast.There are numerous contradictions in the book to known established facts. Stokers assaulting people with shovels for a place in the boats? Attempted stabbing of the radio operator for a life belt? Male passengers being shot? The bridge phone not being answered for minutes? Collapsible boats disintegrating immediately?I'm a good portion through this book, and I'm doubtful it's worth more of my time. It's an old book written in a different time, the price is right, but this is fiction.
