4.0 out of 5 stars SHORT BUT WELL WRITTEN, February 27, 2006

This review is from: Titanic (Hardcover)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars TITANIC, Britannic, and Olympic History, April 13, 2000

By

This review is from: Titanic (Hardcover)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Yet another Titanic book, January 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Titanic (Hardcover)

This book would be more accurately titled "Olympic, Britannic, and, by the way, Titanic". It is a large, handsome book, with all of the usual photographs well-reproduced, along with some that are seen less often. Much of the book is spent on the stories of the Titanic's sister ships, Olympic and Britannic. Not the book to buy if you are only going to buy one Titanic book, but it stays in my collection of twenty or so.
