Falling Star: Misadventures of White Star Line Ships

1 review

W W Norton & Co Inc, 1990

NOT JUST THE TITANIC
While the Titanic story has been covered extensively from every angle, much less is known about other White Star ships. But the line suffered several accidents over the years. This book tells us about the wrecks of the Atlantic, Britanic and Republic, among others. I especially enjoyed the chapters on the Olympic and Atlantic. The Olympic was the Titanic's sister ship, enjoying a fascinating ...

Refreshing
The sense of history that came alive in these pages made this book impossible to put down. The reader was able to learn so much more about these women and children than any other Titanic book. It includes passages on the different classes and different ethnic groups that travelled the Titanic and their fate. The only fault I had with this book were the captions under the pictures of ...

Comprehensive in the Extreme
I must say this is the most comprehensive book on the Titanic I have yet seen. Every facet of the liner's history from its origins to the wreck exploration is covered. Each chapter includes pictures of everything connected to the ship. Anyone with any interest in Titanic at all should have a copy. I did think the authors could have done better with their chapter on the sinking itself ...

Something Special!
It seems just about everyone is writing a book on the Titanic these days, and many of these new titles are worthy additions to the literature. But it is a rare and exciting discovery when you find a book that breaks completely new ground uncovering a portion of the Titanic story never told before. Alan Hustak's book is one of these groundbreading works. His book is about the 130 passengers on ...
