In this original and meticulously researched narrative history, Gareth Russell uses the sinking of the Titanic as a prism through which to examine the end of the Edwardian era and the seismic shift modernity brought to the Anglo-American world. Writing in his elegant signature prose and using previously unpublished sources, deck plans, journal entries, and surviving artifacts, Russell peers through the portholes of these first-class travellers to immerse us in a time of unprecedented change in British and American history.
