DESCRIPTION:
If you're a Titanic buff, lisatheratgirl don't miss Mr. Butler's books. I collect every book I can find on the subject, and this author not only is very readable and interesting (I'm plowing through this one as fast as the Carpathia rushing to pick up survivors) but he always manages to add new facts and ideas that weren't in other books. I find it really intruiging that he considers Captain Stanley Lord of the Californian, who didn't bother to come to the aid of the sinking Titanic, to be a sociopath. I haven't seen this theory anywhere else, but it is certainly plausible and would go a long way to explain L. "Well Done!" according to Joost Kiefte. While Capt. Rostron's gallant and courageous behaviour is beyond criticism, Captain Lord's activities, or rather inactivities, that fateful night the Titanic hit an iceberg, have been a stone of contention ever since. Many have sought to excuse Lord's not coming to the aid of the foundering leviathan by pointing at inconsistencies in chart positions, relative distances, other ships that may or may not have lain between Lord's Californian and the Titanic, and many books have been written to defend him, despite the overwhelming weight of evidence against him. In this boo. E. Bukowsky said "A ship is not going to fire rockets at sea for nothing.". The sinking of the RMS Titanic in April, 191""A ship is not going to fire rockets at sea for nothing."" according to E. Bukowsky. The sinking of the RMS Titanic in April, 1912, has captured the public's imagination for more than a century. In numerous articles, books, and films, many have speculated about how and why this luxurious liner went down so quickly, taking over fifteen hundred lives with her. In "The Other Side of the Night," maritime historian Daniel Allen Butler compares two captains who were aware of the Titanic's distress, were in a position to help, but reacted in opposite ways. Arthur Rostron of the Carpathia did not hesitate to marshal his crewmen and sail as quickly as possible . , has captured the public's imagination for more than a century.

IPMS, 05/2009“…informative…and (most importantly) entertaining…fast paced…will keep the reader… on the edge of their seat, eager to learn what happens next.”Encyclopedia Titanica, 06/2009"careful attention to detail and thorough analysis of the evidence makes this an excellent addition to Titanic historiography."Internet Modeler, 06/2009" for readers interested in "the rest of the story" that fateful April night on the North Atlantic." Steamboat Bill, 08/2009“…finds a happy medium between that for the professional historian and the general public. Daniel Allen Butler’s in depth narrative is exactingly researched, admirably written and forcefully presented. Very, very well done.”Clive Cussler “…A very much alive, gripping and well-written book.” F. 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. He then looks alike at the U.S. He is an internationally recognized authority on maritime subjects and a popular guest-speaker for several cruise lines. I heartily recommend this book even if you think you know all about the trage
