Overview

The first modern work to give a comprehensive picture of the RMS Titanic and the people intertwined with her fate, from disaster to recovery. Drawn from primary sources and contemporary accounts and updated to coincide with the April 2012 anniversary, this new heart rending narrative allows readers to come to their own conclusions about this legendary vessel. Daniel Allen Butler spent more than thirty years researching the work, delving into the lives of every principal participant. In addition to examining the roles played by individuals, he also looks into the problems of equipment and errors in technical data that resulted in the deaths of 1502 people. Rather than focusing on the night of the tragedy alone, he also investigates the events leading up to and following the fateful night. AUTHOR: Daniel Allen Butler, the son of a former merchant marine seaman, is also the author of The Lusitana: The Life, Loss, and Legacy of an ocean legend. REVIEWS: “A masterful treatment of the Titanic disaster with a new look at the role played by the mystery ship California.” – Walter Lord, author of A Night to Remember “At once horrifying and compelling, this book does more than any other source I've seen to bring the details of the tragedy to life.” – Amazon review
