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 July 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

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

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

"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
