Description
The Titanic's sinking was a pivotal moment in history, but many myths surround the event. Kate Messner sets the record straight in History Smashers: The Titanic, a nonfiction book that debunks common misconceptions. The Titanic's tragic fate was not just a result of bad luck, but also of human error and inadequate safety measures. Messner explores the events leading up to the disaster, including the role of wireless operators, ship owners, and the shipping industry as a whole. By examining the evidence and separating fact from fiction, Messner provides a fresh perspective on one of history's most infamous events.
