I've been incredibly passionate about the Titanic for over 20 years now. I have read every book I could possibly find on the subject, but On A Sea Of Glass is without a doubt the best of them. It's detailed and well-researched. It's told in chronological order and often reads more like a novel than your typical non-fiction book. I have difficulty naming any book as my favorite. But if any were to take that spot, it would be this one. If you have any interest in the subject, whether you are new to the topic or have been involved with it for years, you need to read this book. It should be on the top of your list. Be prepared to set time aside for it, it's a heavy read and if you want to fully grasp everything discussed, you won't want to rush through it.
