Explanation Supposing 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.

Judgment Of Books The Story of the Titanic As Told by Its Survivors

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.

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

There are some nuggets of pure truth in this book. As I read this, I felt some voice tell me that I should pay close heed to the things I have learned from reading these experiences. Not that I may encounter a sinking ship in freezing waters, but that there would be times in my life where I would need to act and act in a valiant manner.

A fantastic book for anyone with a depth of love for the tragedy, majesty & story of the white star liner. The stories of the survivors are so harrowing & unnerving...yet if you really want transporting to the time of sinking this book will put you there!

It was very interesting to hear from the survivors accounts. It also debunked myths such as the band playing "Nearer My God" to thee or about how everyone was hysterical and panicking. I really enjoyed reading the book, but of course, I feel sad and kind of angry for those who were lost.

I chose this book as part of a Titanic book club that I did at the library. I found the accounts from the survivors fascinating and insightful. The accounts were also much different than the more well known stories surrounding this disaster. Even 100 years after its sinking, the Titanic still has so much to tell!

i thought it was pretty interesting, but all of the survivor accounts were kind of repetitive.
