from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
To me the book concentrated much more on the various Indian tribes and not enough on the passengers of the Mayflower. If you are interested in the History of New England Indian tribes this book is for you.

It is truly the definitive book on Titanic and one of the best works of narrative history ever written. Its pacing, style, and most importantly its factual underpinning make it a... more info

Customer Review:
I considered writing a lengthy review attempting to describe and explain the effect of this book, but it would be a waste of time.
