3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 28 Sep 1999
By A Customer
No new facts emerge, this is a dramatised version of the two Public Enquiries, which are far from infallible. Mr Butler has accepted their findings word for word and has made no effort to uncover the real truth. Good read, despite errors, but please read the masterful Titanic, end of a dream before this one for an authentic whiff of the year 1912. Otherwise, a useful general overview of the disaster, but no classic.

2.0 out of 5 stars Read "A Night to Remember" instead, 23 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Mr. Butler appears to have taken a good deal from Walter Lord's "A Night to Remember." One would expect much more from someone claiming to have researched an issue for 30 some years. What concerns me most is the issue of credibility. Some of Mr. Butler's claims as to education, military, etc., cannot be verified. Thie leads one to wonder what else is "fiction" while reading the book. When reading something written by an historian, one must feel confident that one is reading truth, in all it's facets. This cannot be clouded by questions relating to other non-related ares; however, I found myself questioning simply due to this. I wanted to read the book and believe it, but the nagging questions were always present. Similarities to A Night to Remember would lead me to recommend one skip this book, and read A Night to Remember instead.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stale Titanic Book, 23 May 1999
By A Customer
Butler has many mistakes that need to be corrected in this book. I counted 40 major needless errors. When writing a book on a subject like this is a difficult task. Butler took the easy way out by copying other people's work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Execellent consolidation of facts presented in clear manner.
Just the type book I like to read. Starts at the beginning and follows the details to the end. No jumping around. All facts documented with footnotes. Read more
Published on 26 April 1999

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly written Titanic book
Being very blunt, I can say with all honestly that Mr. Butler copied A Night to Remember almost word for word. He also never corrected any of Lord's mistakes. Read more
Published on 16 April 1999

3.0 out of 5 stars Not perfect; but not bad
Overall it's an interesting and thorough comprehensive rehashing of the Titanic sinking. I think he did go overboard in several of his assumptions. e.g. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Stale rehash of older, better books
"Unsinkable" is a tremendous disappointment. It presents very little new information, and practically copies the whole of A Night to Remember into its pages. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars A TITANIC FAILURE
THE AUTHOR CLAIMS TO HAVE RESEARCHED THE TITANIC FOR THIRTY YEARS. WELL, THIRTY YEARS OF MISTAKES WENT INTO THIS BOOK. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, smooth-flowing book!
This is a book that I just couldn't put down. Even though there are many books written on the Titanic, Mr. Butler has written one of the best stories to date. Read more
Published on 2 Feb 1999

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the best of Titanic books
I have studied Titanic for over 32 years, and have read over 100 books dealing with the tragedy. Daniel Allen Butler's book ranks with the best, ever. Read more
Published on 28 Jan 1999

4.0 out of 5 stars A story you seem never to get tired of
It seems to me that I read a new book about the Titanic every few years or so, and I never quite get tired of it. Read more
Published on 4 Jan 1999

5.0 out of 5 stars More complete than others I have read or seen.
In my opinion NO book on the Titanic can tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about what happened that night since even the eye-witness/survivors told... Read more
Published on 2 Jan 1999

5.0 out of 5 stars The most informative analysis of the Titanic anywhere!
I am pleased that Mr. Butler not only recounts the actual, rather familiar incident on board the greatest ocean liner ever made, but also describes in great detail the events... Read more
