# The Triumvirate: Captain Edward J. Smith, Bruce Ismay, Thomas Andrews and the Sinking of Titanic - Hardcover

by **George Behe** (Author)

**Presenting the true stories of three core individuals in _Titanic_'s history - Captain Edward J. Smith, shipbuilder Thomas Andrews, and White Star Line chairman Joseph Bruce Ismay**

_Titanic_ literature is full of misconceptions about the actions and motives of key individuals involved. When George Behe set out to write a book thoroughly documenting the activities of the _Titanic_'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 _Titanic_ 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.

This gripping study examines exactly what each of these three pivotal figures in _Titanic_'s story said and did across _Titanic_'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.

### Author Biography

**GEORGE BEHE** is a past vice president of the Titanic Historical Society. He has been interviewed and acted as a consultant for many documentaries and _Titanic_ books, and has written numerous articles for the _Titanic_ Historical Society's journal _The Commutator_. He has also been fortunate to have been able to count more than a dozen _Titanic_ survivors among his personal friends. He has written _On Board RSM Titanic_ and _Voices from the Carpathia_ for The History Press.
