Format:Paperback
This is truly a must for all who want to read more about the REAL story of the night the Titanic went down, as told by several who were there, and survived. Once you start reading this it's impossible to put down. The book is a compilation of other books, and newspaper stories printed at the time this happened, and there has been no editing or other changes made to make it more for this era. It is as it should be....with the true feelings and experiences of the survivors, as well some exerpts from the official hearings that were held to determine who or where the responsibility for this tragedy should fall upon. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to know more of the actual events that occured this very tragic night that so many lives were lost.

Format:Paperback
I was not prepared for the poignancy and vivid details that the survivors provided. I, too, am convinced that James Cameron did a thorough job in researching his topic before the movie. Every book I read, while it repeats some of the known details provides new insights from new perspectives. The compilation of the four survivors has had me on the edge of my seat in realizing how utterly calm the passengers were and how much times have changed. Anyone interested in continuing their reading on the many faces of Titanic should not skip this one.

Good first-hand accounts
Good book. Great to hear the perspectives of four survivors. Some very interesting 'escape' stories from some survivors. Worth a read.

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. Read more
