SHORT BUT WELL WRITTEN

I think we all can agree there is a glut of books on Titanic. So far I have seen books on everything from the iceberg's history to cookbooks taken from Titanic's menus. With that in mind, one should always be careful when selecting a book on the subject. Bonsall's work covers the history of Titanic and her two sisters, Olympic and Brittanic. It is very short, but well written and interesting even to someone with extensive knowledge of the ships. The jacket describes Bonsall as a top historian and the writing would seem to justify this description. I found the chapter on the Titanic inquiry to be especially good. The illustrations and photographs are excellent as well.

TITANIC, Britannic, and Olympic History

An excellent book for any Titanic historian. Also the book reveals the history of Titanic's owner White Star Line. Also gives a history of Titanic's other sister ships Olympic, and Britannic. In my opinion an excellent book to read over and over.
