After every disaster, someone has something to hide . . . 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 fifty-eight miles distant from the sinking Titanic, the other barely ten miles away. The masters of the steamships Carpathia and Californian, Captain Arthur Rostron and Captain Stanley Lord, were informed within minutes of each other that their vessels had picked up the distress signals of a sinking ship. Their actions in the hours and days that followed would become the stuff of legend, as one would choose to take his ship into dangerous waters to answer the call for help, while the other would decide that the hazard to himself and his command was too great to risk responding. After years of research, Daniel Allen Butler now tells this incredible story, moving from ship to ship on the icy waters of the North Atlantic in real-time to recount how hundreds of people could have been rescued, but in the end only a few outside of the meager lifeboats were saved. He then looks alike at the U.S. Senate Investigation in Washington, and ultimately the British Board of Trade Inquiry in London, where the actions of each captain are probed, questioned, and judged, until the truth of what actually happened aboard the Titanic, the Carpathia and the Californian is revealed.

Rare Book
Review:
.. 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. ...not only never strays from his central theme, what happened that night, but also, more helpfully, offers sustained analysis of why it happened and suggests how things might have turned out differently --The Northern Mariner, 10/2009

...careful attention to detail and thorough analysis of the evidence makes this an excellent addition to Titanic historiography --Internet Modeler, 06/2009

Why did the Carpathia steam through iceberg laden seas to attempt the rescue of the Titanic, while the much closer Californian held back, perhaps afraid of drifting ice? Sensational press reports at the time belie the fact that this part of the Titanic disaster story id often forgotten. --Best of British, June 2011

After Titanic sank, the captain of the Carpathia responded immediately to the sinking liner s calls for help, but the captain of the California, which was also close to the sinking, decided it was too risky to respond. --Ships Monthly, August 2011
