The Paragon of a Scapegoat

by Ryan Holt

Joseph Bruce Ismay was a man of dedication and hard work. He spent his life growing his father's company into one the greatest shipping lines the world had ever known. Ismay's greatest creation was the Titanic—the grandest, most luxurious, and largest ship of its time. The Titanic placed a spirit of pride in Ismay, but it was soon extinguished when the sinking of the great liner was blamed on Ismay. The public had selected Ismay as the figure responsible; he was their scapegoat. For the rest of his life, Ismay faced the persecution of others, knowing in his heart that he had done nothing wrong. This book shows the accurate story of Bruce Ismay, the paragon of a scapegoat.
