The Six: Untold Story of Titanic’s Chinese Survivors
Beschrijving
Bol
The Six is an extraordinary story of survival against all odds Steven Schwankert thought there were no new Titanic stories to be told – then he found the Six. When Titanic sank on a cold night in 1912, less than half of those aboard survived. Among these survivors were six Chinese men. Unlike their Western counterparts, upon reaching solid ground in New York these men were almost immediately expelled from the country and, to some extent, the history books. Now at last their stories can be told. The result of meticulous research, dogged investigation and personal interviews, The Six is an epic journey of research that crosses continents to reveal the tales of these six forgotten survivors. Their names were Ah Lam, Chang Chip, Cheong Foo, Fang Lang (or Fong Wing Sun), Lee Bing and Ling Hee. Were they heroes? Were they cowards? Or were they just lucky?
