THE WHITE STAR OFFICIALS NOW ADMIT THAT MANY LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST.

News of the Titanic's catastrophic sinking, days after her maiden voyage, shocked the world. The public was frantic for information and answers, and the London Daily Telegraph, the largest circulating newspaper in the world at the time, was charged with the task of relaying what exactly had happened to the luxury liner. But with false reports abounding and no access to survivors, that task was easier said than done.

Read how a paper, and the world, struggled to find and report the truth of the most disastrous maritime accident in history.

Over a dozen films and hundreds of books have told the tragic tale of Titanic's sinking, but coming up on the 100 year anniversary of its icy demise, Hines offers this from the headlines account of the events as they unfolded in the week that followed. No tweets, twitters or cell phone messages in 1912, so news traveled slowly. The first accounts reported that Titanic sunk but everyone survived. The truth emerged bit by bit while the world followed. This book puts the reader in the audience to experience those same emotions.

This book is a fascinating look at the coverage of the Daily Telegraph of London.
