I would not hesitate to reccommend this book to anyone who was interested in the titanic. An excellent book that presents all the known facts in a clear understandable way. A must have book for anyone who wants facts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Compelling account of the Titanic disaster 14 Nov 1998
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Titanic - the 'unsinkable' ocean liner sailed on her maiden voyage in April 1912 from Southampton. She would never reach her destination. Thoroughly researched and packed with first hand accounts from survivors, this book is considered to be the benchmark by which all other books on the subject are judged. First published in 1954 and used as the basis for the film of the same title starring Kenneth Moore, Walter Lord painstakingly researched evidence from both the UK and US investigations into the tragedy, and tracked down and interviewed scores of survivors to produce a book which is packed with detail. He engrosses the reader as the events unfold and the tale races towards its shocking end, carefully weighing up often conflicting accounts and arriving at considered judgements which give a unique insight into the sinking. Arguments over the exact events that night continue to this day - read A Night to Remember and decide for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow 17 July 2003
By me
Format:Paperback
Walter Lord's "A Night to Remember" is a shocking blow-by-blow account of the Titanic's last night at sea. Lord has researched it well, and his writing style is fantastic. It is a very sobering book, and one that everybody should read at least once.

5.0 out of 5 stars It certainly was.
This book is well written, if a little too much of the 'name dropping' at times. However it cuts through all the film nonsense and gets to the heart of the drama, which is far... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Titanic
I enjoyed this book. It is full of little interesting nuggets that you haven't heard before. Many longstanding perceived truths are also uncovered to be myth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good
Loved the film and the book was very good. The book showed how the people reacted to the final moments of the titanic's sinking.

4.0 out of 5 stars The classic, but not so good on Kindle...
I got this on Kindle - I suspect the printed book is better as it probably has photos/diagrams etc. which would bring the book more to life. Read more

Nothing new as its an old classic but yeah its OK.
I suppose I expected more but it is what it is a straightforward account of the sinking.

Really fills the gaps, having seen the sensational emotional side of the story in the films ... would highly recommend.
