Superb Analysis of the Titanic's Sinking,
By Bruce Trinque (Amston, CT United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Titanic: Safety, Speed and Sacrifice (Paperback)
George Behe performs a first-rate analysis of some of the most controversial aspects of the sinking of the Titanic, gathering together pieces of evidence which indicate that important aspects of the sinking were covered up by the White Star Line after the sinking. Make no mistake about it -- this is not some sensationalist diatribe, but a well-researched, carefully documented study. It's a small book, but an important contribution to the subject.

Intriguing look at what really may have occurred that night,
By Arts&HistoryFan/Kindleworld "Andrys" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Titanic: Safety, Speed and Sacrifice (Paperback)
George Behe has written an original here, not a retelling of the usual stories but a look at primary sources, carefully researched and analyzed, in connection with the mystery of the Titanic's speeding headlong into an icefield in spite of warnings received and posted.
Fred Fleet, the lookout, was quoted by many on the Carpathia as having complained of his earlier warnings re icebergs having been ignored by the bridge. What is the real story? In this small, but weighty volume, Behe introduces us to those who talked about it then, who were quoted or misquoted in newspaper articles, and weaves a tale of politics and intrigue. He details the large flaws of reporting while getting to the core of the stories, including very possible White Star arrangements with Fleet and others to maintain silence. Whether or not one agrees with the conclusions, Behe makes a rather persuasive case for a night of truths withheld, though it's up to the reader how persuasive it is. The references and citations are unusually thorough. Virtually nothing is said without a specific reference to an original source. HIGHLY recommended. One of the top books on the Titanic and the puzzles of that night.

An excellent book on the Titanic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Titanic: Safety, Speed and Sacrifice (Paperback)
George Behe's book is a through examination of the circumstances surrounding the tragedy in 1912. In looking at transcripts and eyewitness accounts, Behe makes some very telling conclusions as to why the ship collided with the iceberg. For those seriously interested in the real details, this book is a must to read.
