Admittedly in the introduction it does state this book is not for the Titanic Buff, more suitable for the casual reader. The main detraction from the book was it had a number of factual errors, one of them quite significant. It stated in the book 3rd officer Pitman (misspelled "Pirman") did not survive the Titanic sinking, this in NOT true, he was reported as leaving the sinking ship at 12:45 in charge of lifeboat No 5 and did survive. Pitman was one of the main witnesses at the Titanic hearings. The presence of obvious factual errors in the book, does not bode well in the accuracy of the authors' research.
