The Band that Played On: The Extraordinary Story of the 8 Musicians Who Went Down with the Titanic ReviewI requested to review this book because it looked interesting when I first saw it. The Titanic story is an object of fascination for me and this book revealed to me a totally new aspect of it. Most people have heard of the band that sunk with the Titanic (probably through the 1997 movie). This work goes in-depth with the story of the band. Turner begins his book with a background on the Titanic disaster. From there, he provides short biographies (about a chapter long each) on the band members and their employers. The climax of the book is the musicians honorable, icy death amidst the iceberg-strewn waters of the Atlantic. One chapter speculates on the reasons for the sinking of the Titanic. Was it for moral reasons or simply human mistakes? The book begins to close with details about what happened after their deaths. The Band That Played On becomes a little dry here with lots of information about deaths and estates. It begins to sound like a research project, which is why I will only give this book 4.5 stars. Other than that, it was an enjoyable read. It showed me a new aspect of history and I learned lots of new things from it (such as Wallace Hartley's violin that is supposed to go up for auction next year for the 100th anniversary). Anyways, if you're interested in Titanic history, read this book!
I received a free copy of this book from BookSneeze in exchange for a review. I was in no way obligated to write a positive review.
