Dalla quarta di copertina:

“This is a great book, the first full revelation of how one of America’s most appalling marine disasters actually happened. The world of maritime history will find the work invaluable. Hilton’s account of this exciting yet tragic story reflects a deep understanding of history, of naval architecture, of Chicago’s ethnic makeup, and of law, both civil and admiralty. One hopes that this work will serve as a model for other maritime historians to follow.”—Edwin F. Dunbaugh, Webb Institute of Naval Architecture
“The numerous illustrations and period photographs as well as numerous appendixes make this a definitive account.”—Daniel Liestman, Seattle Pacific University Library
