Description

The Coward of Titanic: A New Perspective Following one of history's most infamous maritime disasters, J. Bruce Ismay was vilified by the press for his actions. However, Clifford Ismay's new book offers a fresh insight into the life and motives of this misunderstood man. Through previously unseen family letters and diaries, as well as revisiting public enquiries, this biography reveals a more complex individual than previously thought. Ismay walked the Titanic's boat deck for over two hours, assisting with preparing and loading lifeboats before finding a seat in one of the last lifeboats to be successfully lowered from the ship. A nuanced exploration of Ismay's character, this book challenges common perceptions of his actions on that fateful night.
