As this book clearly suggests, it is about the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. I am sure most of us are familiar with the story of the Titanic, which struck and iceberg and sank in freezing waters in the middle of the night. This book provides a harrowing image of those events, and was a decent book to read. It gives an interesting point of view about the behavior of the passengers and crew on the ship, which I liked. Looking back at this incident, it was a literal perfect storm of events that happened. It puts you in mind of the Final Destination movie franchise, where if one person did just one small thing differently, an entire chain of events would be altered.

The paperback is less than 200 pages, and the Audible version is about four hours long. Currently, this book is available on Audible Plus to listen to for free. I thought the book was really good and objective. Even though this particular disaster is "old news", it was still really engaging and thought provoking. Plus, it was free to listen to and not a long book.
