An account of a commercial organisation that would not disgrace a work of fiction. This work contains the mystery of the disappearance of so much material from the company's archives not to mention the ownership of the White Star Line, which is labyrinthine in its complexity and involved the almost legendary financier JP Morgan.
There is much in the pages of this factual account of a commercial organisation that would not disgrace a work of fiction. It will become clear to the reader that 'Titanic' was not alone in being a victim of the company's apparently cavalier approach to seamanship. There is the mystery of the disappearance of so much material from the company's archives not to mention the ownership of the White Star Line, which is labyrinthine in its complexity and involved the almost legendary financier J.P. Morgan. As the author notes in his introduction, there a few books that can incorporate items relating to 'Titanic', President Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Adolf Hitler, the Beatles and Jack the Ripper! This one does!
