More than a century after it sank, Titanic still raises unanswered questions-not about how the ship failed, but about how people were protected, prioritized, or ignored when it did.

This book explores the disaster through the experiences of those most often left out of the story: immigrant passengers, working crew, and families traveling below decks. Using inquiry records and survivor testimony, it reveals how class, labor, and access shaped survival-and how those same dynamics continue to appear in modern crises.

Part of the Fault Lines series, this volume is a rigorously researched, accessible work of nonfiction for readers interested in history that examines systems, not myths.
