When George Behe set out to write a book thoroughly documenting the activities of the \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e's Captain Edward J. Smith during his vessel's maiden voyage, he soon realized that Smith's activities were intimately intertwined with those of two other \"top officials\" in the \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e story - shipbuilder Thomas Andrews and White Star Line chairman Joseph Bruce Ismay. With that being the case, he expanded his coverage to include all three men - men whose post-disaster reputations differ from each other as greatly as night differs from day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This gripping study examines exactly what each of these three pivotal figures in\u003ci\u003e Titanic\u003c\/i\u003e's story said and did across \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e's doomed maiden voyage, culminating in their vastly differing fates, cross referencing all the various survivor accounts and correcting many false impressions and muddled ideas along the way. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGEORGE BEHE\u003c\/b\u003e is a past vice president of the Titanic Historical Society.
