As I read ''How to Survive the Titanic'' I was conscious that we're only a matter of months away from the centenary of the sinking – and a slew of media to mark the occasion. Given that the subject has been mined extensively over the years it will be interesting to see whether there's anything new to be said about the tragedy. It's a subject which has always fascinated me – and it was with a sense of anticipation that I opened the book.
For more about the Titanic we can recommend [[Lost Voices from the Titanic: The Definitive Oral History by Nick Barratt]].
