|summary=Within a matter of months it will be the centenary of the siking sinking of the ''Titanic''. There will be a slew a books to commemorate the event, but this one looks at what happened from a slightly different perspective and we found it readable and informative.
For fans of political biographies we can recommend [[Supermac: The Life of Harold Macmillan by D R Thorpe]]. It's the fruit of over thirty years research and gives a balanced look at the man with an aristocratic background who was also the great-grandson of a crofter.
