I love stories about Titanic and this book fell nothing short of excellent!! This book was about the nearby ship The SS Californian that failed to respond to the Titanic's distress rockets on the night the ship sank. I have always been fascinated by this topic and what could have been if only they had ignored giving aid to the crew and passengers that fateful night.
