Story
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 58 miles distant from the sinking Titanic, the other barely 10 miles away.

The passengers were anxious. Germany had declared the seas around Britain to be a war zone, and for months, its U-boats had brought terror to the North Atlantic.

Beginning in the predawn hours of airports in the Northeast, we meet the ticket agents who unknowingly usher terrorists onto their flights, and the flight attendants inside the hijacked planes. In New York City, first responders confront a scene of unimaginable horror at the Twin Towers. From a secret bunker underneath the White House, officials watch for incoming planes on radar. Aboard the small number of unarmed fighter jets in the air, pilots make a pact to fly into a hijacked airliner if necessary to bring it down.

In November 1965, some 450 men of the First Battalion, Seventh Cavalry, under the command of Lt. Col. Hal Moore, were dropped by helicopter into a small clearing in the Ia Drang Valley. They were immediately surrounded by 2,000 North Vietnamese soldiers. Three days later, only two and a half miles away, a sister battalion was chopped to pieces. Together, these actions at the landing zones X-Ray and Albany constituted one of the most savage and significant battles of the Vietnam War. How these men persevered makes a vivid portrait of war at its most inspiring and devastating.

Explore the captivating history of the Titanic. When thinking about the worst known maritime disaster in history, it is impossible not to think about all of the lives lost in a single night. One of the wealthiest men alive (and the wealthiest passenger aboard the ship) died in the same accident that took the life of a baby younger than five months old in steerage. More than 100 years after the disaster, the survivors have passed on, but they left behind harrowing stories that remind us that every day is something to appreciate.

Publisher's Summary
Tracking down other survivors for their stories and attending court hearings to obtain the official record, Colonel Gracie filled in the details of his account, struggling to complete it in spite of illness. Largely due to the effects of his ordeal and exposure in the frigid Atlantic, he finally succumbed on December 4, 1912. His book was published in 1913 to universal acclaim and remains one of the most vivid first-hand accounts of the disaster.

I sure hope the book tasted good!
Would you try another book from Colonel Archibald Gracie and/or Frederick Davidson?
maybe
What didn’t you like about Frederick Davidson’s performance?
He keeps salivating and we seem to hear the pages turn. His voice sometimes is too uneven - we can't hear the end of sentences.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
The true stories
Any additional comments?
Despite being a fan of the story of the Titanic, I didn't finish the book. I couldn't; the narration being so bad (inadequate).

Amazing Detail from a Survivor
This book goes into alot of detail about who was on which lifeboats, and the hearings, and actual quotes at those hearings, into the sinking of the Titanic.
That part, quite lengthy, does drag on a bit, but as this was written by a survivor in the same year as the sinking, it is a very credible and interesting account.

A Bit of History
Reading the differing opinions about certain happenings on the doomed ocean liner is eye opening. There was so much happening all at once during the sinking that a full knowledge about any one instance would be impossible. Also, there were forms of prejudice, both of nationality and concerning ones job, at play at certain times as well. Concerning the ship breaking apart, people didn't want to believe it broke apart partly because it could mean the work had been shoddy and in part because they expected more commotion from the ship than they heard. Although we know so much better today that she did break apart, it seems perfectly reasonable to me that the majority of the day found that hard to believe. Concerning "President Ismay's" conduct, as most beginner historians (and it seems the majority of the Titanic's day, excluding the author of this book) I spent a lot of time believing that he was largely to blame for the accident and was utterly wrong to enter a lifeboat. Nonetheless, the facts point toward him just trying to do his best given each situation and only going in so the boat would be more filled. I think those assertions are more visible when you take into account the manner of Mr. Ismay's brokenness proceeding the American and British tribunals. I have come to feel more for the man. This book has been truly eye-opening. I hope to read other accounts, especially those from different classes of people.

4stars
I appreciate the tremendous level of detail and research that went into writing this book.
This is the third (or maybe fourth???) NF book I have read in quick succession about the sinking of the RMS Titanic. What is different about this book in comparison to the others that I have read are a couple of things:
1. It was written by a survivor.
2. It was written almost immediately after the sinking.
3. The author had access to many primary sources from other survivors that he specifically referred to (e.g correspondence)
What I appreciated about this account in that not only was Colonel Gracie adamant about telling his own story, he also wanted to share the stories of those that had lost their lives and also other survivors.
Brace yourself, this was written in the early 20th century and Colonel Gracie does have a view of women that probably does not fit with the way women would describe themselves. He honestly believed it was his duty to save helpless women and children and was prepared to die for that belief.
Some truly remarkable accounts are recorded in this book. It is well recommended if you are interesting in Titanic history, or just in history in general.

The individual experiences of those who survived
An incredibly detailed survivors account. Gracie is intensely preoccupied with minor details, which can sometimes drag the story on. But when the broad strokes of the disaster are so ubiquitous in culture, this provides an insight into the people who were actually on the ship, the experiences of the survivors and the sacrifices of the victims. Given that this book was written in only 8 months before Gracie himself died, it's a remarkable compendium of information. Davidson is a very listenable reader.

In Gilded Lives, Fatal Voyage, historian Hugh Brewster seamlessly interweaves personal narratives of the lost liner's most fascinating people with a haunting account of the fateful maiden crossing. Employing scrupulous research, he accurately depicts the ship's brief life and tragic denouement and presents compelling, memorable portraits of her most notable passengers.

Story
The Titanic has often been called "An exquisite microcosm of the Edwardian era", but until now, her story has not been presented as such. In Gilded Lives, Fatal Voyage, historian Hugh Brewster seamlessly interweaves personal narratives of the lost liner's most fascinating people with a haunting account of the fateful maiden crossing. Employing scrupulous research, he accurately depicts the ship's brief life and tragic denouement and presents compelling, memorable portraits of her most notable passengers.

Late in the night of April 14, 1912, the mighty Titanic, a passenger liner traveling from Southampton, England, to New York City, struck an iceberg four hundred miles south of Newfoundland. Its sinking over the next two and a half hours brought the ship—mythological in name and size—100 years of infamy.

Story
April 15, 2012, marked 100 years since the Titanic sank. Since that fateful night, stories about the sinking have become legendary - how the band played to the end, how lifeboats were lowered half-empty - but amongst the films, novels and academic arguments, only those who were there can separate truth from fiction. After the sinking, inquiries into the loss of 1,517 lives (out of 2,223 aboard) were held in both the UK and US. The proceedings produced 1,000 pages of transcripts.

Story
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 58 miles distant from the sinking Titanic, the other barely 10 miles away.

Story
Drawing on historical documents and contemporary accounts and on exclusive interviews with Carlsen's family, Delaney opens a window into the world of the merchant marine. With deep affection, and respect, for the weather and all that goes with it, he places us in the heart of the storm, a "biblical tempest" of unimaginable power. He illuminates the bravery and ingenuity of Carlsen and the extraordinary courage that the 37-year-old captain inspired in his stalwart crew.
