Title: bad history
Product review: when i got this book i was expecting a detailed history of the the historic white star line ( and if i was lucky, a large number of photos and deck plans of some ships like the "big four" ) however what i got was stupid story (which, if true -which i take with a good size pinch of salt) would have you think that in the appox. 90 years between the start of the line and it's takeover by cunard, the the line had been run by a group of men who would have more in common with the mob that withnormal businessmen (even by 19th century standards). i think this book was used to back up the art bell like story this writer has written about the titanic. the reason i give it even one star is that it does have some nice photo's - but they do not make up for the rest of the book - which is nothing more than a pile of rat dung - do not buy this book - and hopefullysomeone who has a love of shipping history will write a really good, informitive book about white star
