A Night To Remember by Walter Lord
Synopsis: The story of the "unsinkable" Titanic, this true minute-by-minute account of the aftermath of an encounter with an iceberg is enthralling. It was the maiden voyage of the ship that was outfitted with ingenious safety devices but only 20 lifeboats for the 2,207 passengers on board - over 1,500 of those passengers went down with the ship.

The Titanic: End of a Dream by Wyn Craig Wade
Synopsis: The most scrupulous of the recent spate of books on the Titanic disaster, Wyn Craig Wade's book relies on survivors' accounts to establish some startling facts, including that almost two thirds of the first-class passengers survived while only a quarter of the steerage passengers made it to safety. And that those in the lifeboats chose to ignore the piteous cries of passengers in the water, almost all of whom perished. This chilling account demonstrates that the Titanic's sinking was in many ways entirely avoidable.
