Quotes
“Walter Lord’s A Night to Remember, about the sinking of the Titanic, was the best book about a disaster I had ever read.”
David McCullough
“Stunning…one of the most exciting books of this or any year.”
New York Times
“Seamless and skillful…it’s clear why this is many a researcher’s Titanic bible.”
Entertainment Weekly
“A magnificent job of re-creative chronicling, enthralling from the first word to the last.”
Atlantic Monthly
“This classic study of the unsinkable Titanic still packs an emotional wallop. Of course, we know what’s going to happen, but the pleasure here is in the telling and the anticipation created by the author’s minute-by-minute account of the doomed ship. What could make this story even better? How about a terrific narrator who has a classically trained English voice that not only lends élan to the book but also heightens the tension and adds expert pacing? Check off all of those boxes, as Martin Jarvis fits the bill with talent to spare. Jarvis alternates his reading to match the text, ranging from a learned professor informing us of a historical event to a breathlessly excited observer drawing us into the story. It’s a must-read. “
