Library Journal Review
Lord's classic account of the last hours of the "unsinkable" ship, the Titanic, and the subsequent rescue of the survivors was originally published in 1955. Here, it is given a fine interpretation by reader Richard M. Davidson. Lord, working from survivors' published accounts, interviews with survivors and their relatives, and contemporary news coverage, constructs a picture of the collision with the iceberg, the subsequent events, and the confluence of errors that likened the event to a classic Greek tragedy in which only 1500 of the total 2200 passengers and crew survived. Davidson reads this engrossing story with a rich and expressive voice. Although there is little opportunity for vocal characterization, Davidson excels in re-creating the few conversations in addition to the remaining text. Listeners will get caught up in this story of an unimaginable tragedy of yesterday that remains in our minds today. Recommended for most history collections.-Melody A.

Gr. 6^-12. Lord's account is the best-known modern version of the sequence of events that led up to the sinking of the Titanic. It is a scrupulously fair and balanced account that is riveting in its step-by-step march toward the inevitable.Author notes provided by Syndetics
