Summary: Not enough to satisfy; but enough to titilate.
Review: A digest rather than a complete transcription. Actual survivors' stories about the actual shipwreck (no fiction), it's very good value for little money. Sometimes difficult to read because of pathos, sometimes because of the senators repeating questions [but we owe them a debt for their thoroughness]; I lost sleep and missed my bus-stop because I couldn't stop reading. It keeps to facts as the survivors remembered them, horrible enough, no flights of fancy permitted [or only those the senators didn't notice as such]. I begged to read the parts the editor left out. This digest will do and is overdue; but PLEASE, tell Uncle Sam to republish the entire transcript. Canadian libraries don't own it and any copies in U.S. libraries must be tattered to bits by now.

Summary: for pure facts not fiction
Review: For people wishing to know more about the Titanic aftermath, this is your book. This not fictions or guesses, this is the actual Official transcripts of the 1912 Senate Investigations.
Excellent insight to the first hand personal accounts by the people themselves gives you a clearer understanding of the domino effect that caused the disaster.Excellent reference work.

Summary: INTERESTING, INFORMATIVE, SPELLBINDING
Review: I am a fourteen year old fanatic on the subject of the Titanic, and I feel that this is the ultimate book of the Titanic disaster. A real infomative book that any Titanic buff should own. This book is a real bible of the disaster of the century. It discusses issues, and topics that weren't quite heard about before. It is a factual recollection from passengers and crew as the recount the sights and sounds of that fatefull night in April of 1912, with an interesting intro by the author, Tom Kuntz. I like the fact that this book displays very interesting statistic at the end of the text. Sometimes there are parts that you would really like answers to but the "interviewees" can't remember them, that could be frustrating if your like me (wanting the scoop on every little detail). Anyway I love this book and am really glad it is a part of my Titanic collection.

Summary: Great reading for the Titanic enthusiast that has questions.
Review: I've slowly gathered more and more information about the Titanic disaster and this book gives voices to those old photos we've all seen. It truly is an unfolding of human drama and you can feel the frustration and tension in the questions and answers. I found myself reading the answers in a British accent! Not only do these transcripts add a personal dimension to the characters, but they also give first-hand accounts and facts, facts, facts. I love that!

Summary: History in the voices of the survivors: Great! Exciting!
Review: Just 4 days after their rescue, the survivors of Titanic testified in a Senate hearing. Their stories are unbelievably gripping, horrific, terrifying. This is the mother of all sources for ALL the Titanic books, movies, stories, etc. This is very cool stuff.--Stephen Kling

Summary: More than a transcript, less than a novel -- in between!
Review: Once I picked up this 550+ page account of the disaster hearings, I couldn't put it down. The eyewitness accounts are compelling and saddening. This is a "must read" for any serious Titanic buff. It deserves a place on your bookshelf. -- Doug Griswold, Sierra Vista, AZ.

Summary: Incomplete
Review: This book claims to be the "Official Transcripts of the 1912 Senate Investigation." It is not. The full Senate investigation is over 1,000 pages. This is only 571 pages. It is an EDITED version of the official transcript.
