I thought this book was an interesting history of what the survivors went through on that dark, cold night in April. I especially appreciated the testimony of Strauss family. Being part owner of Macy's, he certainly could have used his influence to be on a lifeboat. He chose not to. It seems that when his wife heard that he was not getting on the boat, she gave up her seat to be with him. This elderly couple was highly spoken of by the survivors.
