Customer Reviews

Extraordinary reading
I'm a bit sceptical when it comes to reading items on the most famous liner in the world, after watching the films that Hollywood churned out during the years about the disaster. I was pleasantly surprised by this book, it is gripping, enthralling and gives you an, often sad, insight into the last hours if the Titanic.

The eyewitness accounts by the survivors are well written, and are accompanied by very good illustrations. At times the book is a little too detailed, but I would recommend it to any Titanic enthusiast.

Superb starter for 10
As a researcher for a tv show I needed the titanic history fast. This provided it in a very entertaining way. Now I am trawling through the court transcripts but the book gave me a good sounding in the disaster. Well worth the read. I would also recomend A Night To Remember which is a fantastic book and sets out the tone of multiple narratives so well all would be cinema fans should look to the book for inspiration.

compelling, enthralling
i've been into all things titanic since seeing the film and this is a must read. it tells the story of what happened the night titanic sank through the eyes of the survivors. the details are incredible and it really brings home the scale of the tragedy.
