Recensione:

.. for readers interested in "the rest of the story" that fateful April night on the North Atlantic --Steamboat Bill, 08/2009

...finds a happy medium between that for the professional historian and the general public. ...not only never strays from his central theme, what happened that night, but also, more helpfully, offers sustained analysis of why it happened and suggests how things might have turned out differently --The Northern Mariner, 10/2009

...careful attention to detail and thorough analysis of the evidence makes this an excellent addition to Titanic historiography --Internet Modeler, 06/2009

Why did the Carpathia steam through iceberg laden seas to attempt the rescue of the Titanic, while the much closer Californian held back, perhaps afraid of drifting ice? Sensational press reports at the time belie the fact that this part of the Titanic disaster story id often forgotten. --Best of British, June 2011

After Titanic sank, the captain of the Carpathia responded immediately to the sinking liner s calls for help, but the captain of the California, which was also close to the sinking, decided it was too risky to respond. --Ships Monthly, August 2011
