James Clary's book like the word "titanic" itself, is of enormous magnitude. To chronicle the events of this great disaster, and to do so in such a detailed, thoughtful way is truly an outstanding feat. I learned so much from the book, and was especially impressed with the painstaking research, and the crisp rhetoric.
Now I Know What Happened

This book delivered exactly what I was looking for regarding what really happened to the Titanic. Although Mr. Clary goes into significant detail, the book is never bogged down by facts and figures. It is with a unique blend of fact finding and a keen writing skill which made me feel as if the author were there himself as the story unfolded. Break out a bottle of champagne. This book will defiantly be christened as the final word on what actually happened to the grandest ocean liner ever known!

This book was thoroughly enjoyable, did not want to put it down. It really put you right there. The facts let you observe the whole picture, and his background work is a total work. All the little known facts made it more interesting. I would highly recommend the book to anyone, it makes you want to know more and read more books on the Titanic. My husband and i enjoyed a visit to Jim Clarys studio in St. Clair, Mi. which just made it all the better, especially with all the art work all around. Thanks Jim Clary.

An insightful look at errors which doomed "Titanic"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Jim Clary provides the reader with details about the "Titanic" which have up to this time, either been ignored or vague. His insightful presentation leads the reader step by step through a succession of events which occured from the inception of "Titanic" to her demise. Issues which were known but never elaborated upon, take on new meaning and thus magnifies the tragedy. He gives a sensational account of an event with fact. Definitely an excellent book to read for anyone, but especially for those who have followed and studied this tragedy.
