Synopsis

In the chilly night of April 15, 1912, the luxury passenger liner Titanic slipped quietly beneath the waves of the North Atlantic Ocean. How could this engineering marvel, renowned for its safe and ultramodern design, have been fatally damaged by the light touch of a passing iceberg? "The Sinking of the Titanic" describes the Titanic disaster in the words of eyewitnesses and the articles of contemporary historians and engineers.

Review:

"Because of the even-handed presentation, the title makes a strong and lasting impression. The writings are well chosen. A thoughtful and well-delineated addition."
-- School Library Journal (April 2003) (School Library Journal 20030401)

"This book will give students an understanding of a difficult time in American history."
-- School Library Journal (September 2002) (School Library Journal 20020901)

"This collection of primary-source material presents a well-balanced treatise on who knew what, and when, and who was responsible. This title deals with a debate that is seldom addressed."
-- School Library Journal (July 2002) (School Library Journal 20020701)

"As with books in the long-running Opposing Viewpoints series, the excerpts here clearly express opposing opinions on an issue...The effect of the entire volume is to create an informative, many-sided representation."
-- Booklist (May 2002) (Booklist 20020501)
