Titanic Tragedy

A New Look at the Lost Liner

By: John Maxtone-Graham

Narrated by: Gayle Hendrix

This is an audiobook unlike any other. Rather than offering simply a detailed retelling of the Titanic's sinking on her maiden voyage, John Maxtone-Graham devotes his considerable knowledge and impeccable prose to a discussion of salient, provocative, and rarely investigated components of the story, including dramatic survivors' accounts of the events of the fateful night, the role of newly invented wireless telecommunication in the disaster, the construction and its ramifications at the famous Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, and the dawn rendezvous with the rescue ship Carpathia.

Richly written and vividly detailed, this is the book Titanic buffs have been waiting for.

Critic reviews

"Maxtone-Graham’s take on the Titanic will be catnip to the ship’s dedicated buffs." (Publishers Weekly)

Great book for a new Titanic enthusiast

This book is a wealth of information about the Titanic tragedy. While it does not really contain any new information, it is a great read.

Narrator is awful, very hard to listen to.

Book content is excellent. Narration is very AI-like, very robotic an unappealing. It's difficult to take your focus off of it.

Good story, weak performance

Always enjoy John's books. and this is no exception. the performance is very mechanical, and I would choose to read this next time.
