In his new book, "The Sinking of the Eastland: America's Forgotten Tragedy", award-winning thriller writer and best selling author Jay Bonansinga tells the whole riveting story of Chicago's worst tragedy, which nearly ninety years later still ranks as one of America's most devastating disasters, in which 844 men, women, and children were crushed and drowned in the space of 10 minutes. The result is a historical thriller that dramatically re-lives the fates of the tragedy's victims, survivors, heroes and villains, while masterfully detailing a unique, haunting period in American history.
