Ultimately, Wilson’s portrait—empathetic rather than sympathetic—depicts Ismay as an Everyman troublingly suited to our own uncertain times.” (BusinessWeek ) “Wilson herself casts a Conradian spell . . . finds submerged truths, unravels riddles, listens to echoes. This book is a deep reading of the catastrophe through one hapless, inert man.” (Hermione Eyre, Evening Standard ) https://www.amazon.com/How-Survive-Titanic-Sinking-J/dp/1408828154
