... a must for maritime enthusiast or for anyone who wants to know the truth about the events leading up to and after the sinking of the most famous vessel in history...RMS Titantic!|9781935149026|, ...informative...and (most importantly) entertaining...fast paced...will keep the reader... on the edge of their seat, eager to learn what happens next., "...impeccable, even handed research... This is a book anyone (even landlubbers) can read, comprehend and learn from. I heartily recommend this book even if you think you know all about the tragedy"., A bold and powerful account of the most incredible disaster in the annals of maritime history. Daniel Allen Butler's in depth narrative is exactingly researched, admirably written and forcefully presented. He has revealed the true controversy between the Titanic, the Carpathia and the Californian, and laid to rest the enigma behind that fateful drama of April 14, 1912. Very, very well done., ...careful attention to detail and thorough analysis of the evidence makes this an excellent addition to Titanic historiography., ...very readable and particularly accessible to the general reader, with additional information for the specialist researcher in the extensive Sources and Bibliography... ...Butler's research has obviously been extensive and his airing of the views of a wide cross-section of the people involved gives the book a freshness which could easily have been lost., After the Titanic sank, the captain of Carpathia responded immediately to the sinking liner's calls for help, but the captain of the California, which was also close to the sinking, decided it was too risky to respond...examines the reasons behind this decision and looks at the American and British inquiries into the sinking..., ...finds a happy medium between that for the professional historian and the general public. ...not only never strays from his central theme, what happened that night, but also, more helpfully, offers sustained analysis of why it happened and suggests how things might have turned out differently., "... for readers interested in "the rest of the story" that fateful April night on the North Atlantic."

Synopsis
After every disaster, someone has something to hide . . . A few minutes before midnight on April 14, 1912, the "unsinkable" RMS Titanic, on her maiden voyage to New York, struck an iceberg. Less than three hours later she lay at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. While the world has remained fascinated by the tragedy, the most amazing drama of those fateful hours was not played out aboard the doomed liner. It took place on the decks of two other ships, one fifty-eight miles distant from the sinking Titanic, the other barely ten miles away. The masters of the steamships Carpathia and Californian, Captain Arthur Rostron and Captain Stanley Lord, were informed within minutes of each other that their vessels had picked up the distress signals of a sinking ship. Their actions in the hours and days that followed would become the stuff of legend, as one would choose to take his ship into dangerous waters to answer the call for help, while the other would decide that the hazard to himself and his command was too great to risk responding. After years of research, Daniel Allen Butler now tells this incredible story, moving from ship to ship on the icy waters of the North Atlantic--in real-time--to recount how hundreds of people could have been rescued, but in the end only a few outside of the meager lifeboats were saved. He then looks alike at the U.S. Senate Investigation in Washington, and ultimately the British Board of Trade Inquiry in London, where the actions of each captain are probed, questioned, and judged, until the truth of what actually happened aboard the Titanic, the Carpathia and the Californian is revealed. Daniel Allen Butler, a maritime and military historian, is the bestselling author of "Unsinkable" The Full Story of RMS Titanic, Distant Victory: The Battle of Jutland and the Allied Triumph in the First World War, and The First Jihad: The Battle for Khartoum and the Dawn of Militant Islam. He is an internationally recognized authority on maritime subjects and a popular guest-speaker for several cruise lines. Butler lives and works in Los Angeles, California., After every disaster, someone has something to hide . . .
