Representaion As Books The Story of the Titanic As Told by Its Survivors

Why does the sinking of the Titanic hold such fascination for us? Many reasons have been advanced for the continuing fascination of this epic tragedy, but none, we think, can contribute as much to an understanding of it as the four accounts collected in this volume.
All four authors were survivors, and each presents the catastrophe from his own viewpoint; the icy waters, the cries of the drowning, the confusion, and the heroism, are given an intensely personal immediacy.
This volume contains, complete and unabridged, "The Loss of the S.S. Titanic," by Lawrence Beesley, and "The Truth about the Titanic," by Col. Archibald Gracie. Both are full-length books published soon after the disaster. Each has become extremely rare today. The third story in this volume, "Titanic," was written by one of the only officers to survive the catastrophe, Commander Lightoller. It includes the story of the "white-washing" inquiries into the Titanic's safety measures. The last section is a dramatic tale by the Titanic's surviving wireless operator, Harold Bride.

Criticize Appertaining To Books The Story of the Titanic As Told by Its Survivors

Stopped a little more than halfway through because it was getting so repetitive. It is interesting to read what was regarded as common tales at the time of the sinking that we now know to be untrue (e.g. Many parties insist the ship didn't break in two when we now know that it did). This book might be better for people who are more die-hard than I am about he specifics of the disaster.

Good one. Lots of detail about the event as well as opinions of the survivors about why this happened and how it was handled. Many first -hand accounts enabling the reader to see the tragedy from different viewpoints and situations.

An amazing book, especially for those obsessed with Titanic such as myself. But man, what racists all four of these people were!

A complilation of four books about the Titanic:1. The Loss of the S.S. Titanic: written by a surviving passenger2. The Truth About The Titanic: Written by a passenger, who died before the book was published.3. Titanic and Other Ships: Written by Second Officer Charles Lightoller, the only officer to survive the sinking.4. Thrilling Tale by Titanic's Surviving Wireless Man: written by the Marconi wireless operator on the ship, who survived on an overturned boat.These four stories really gave me a

The Story of the Titanic As Told By Its Survivors should absolutely be required reading for anyone interested in learning about that maritime disaster. It features four separate accounts of four survivors and it is truly chilling to learn first hand what they all went through. A must read.

Quite interesting and extremely factual. I found it interesting that most of the accounts were devoid of much emotion and yet the horror of the event was quite clear. I am curious whether the accounts were less emotional because of the official inquiries, the language of the day, or just the shock of the event.
