5.0 out of 5 stars Investigative historical writing at its best, 4 Jan 2001

By	Winning Form Mr Lips (Durban North, Kwazulu-Natal South Africa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Titanic (Paperback)

Stripping the Titanic saga of much of its romantic nonsense, this carefully researched book is without doubt one of the very best of the many I have read on the ill-fated liner. Instead of rehashing old ground, Wade's meticulous research helps to cast new light not only on the disaster but on the society into which the Titanic was born. Unlike others who either ignore Senator Smith's Senate inquiry or write him off as a buffoon, this book shows just how much seafarers in the years following the disaster owed to him and his efforts. A great book - and oh yes, do ignore the rather garish cover picture which shows the Titanic foundering with smoke billowing from all four funnels. Even newcomers to the subject know that the aftermost stack was a dummy! Whether you are an avid Titanic fan or have only a passing interest, this book is a must!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Hows and Why of the Titanic Disaster, 17 Sep 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Titanic (Paperback)

The Titanic is the story of the greatest ocean disaster of at least this century. This does not include wartimes naval tragedies for this event in 1912 did not need to happen. As the 2nd Officer of the Titanic,Lightoller,once commented that it was all against us that night. The events of that night and others that lead up to it are recalled with fresh memories. This due to the work of a Senator from Michigan and his committee who actually met the rescue ship Carpathia in New York and served many of the notables with subpoenas. The Inquiry was held within a week of the rescue ship arriving in New York. As time goes on the stories of fact get embellished to small and great degrees. This book deals with a source that was very fresh and thus gives a great read that fills in so many details. It is a book you can't put down I rate it among the best ever written on the Titanic. Right up there with the best author on this subject Walter Lord. Mr Wade did a tremendous job in his take on that incredible night the Titanic went down.

If you have seen the movie by James Cameron or any other drama of lesser quality,which speak for most of them, go and Buy the Book. When you finish you will begin to understand why the story of this so rumoured unsinkable ship stands the test of time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes You Think, 30 Jun 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Titanic (Paperback)

I finished reading Wade's account of how the Titanic disaster changed the world. It made me think more about what the ramifications were and while Senator Smith may have appeared to be a buffon by the press, he got to the heart of the matter and was that era's version of Kenneth Starr. Besides that, this book really gives you a better understanding of how this disaster still affects our lives today. A must read for any Titanic buff!
