If ever a book captured the zeitgeist of an era it was Charles Berlitz’s The Bermuda Triangle.

A squadron of five US Navy planes on a routine mission disappears - and so does the rescue plane sent out to search for them.

A ship is found abandoned on the high seas with no trace of passengers or crew. A submerged vessel mysteriously rises to the surface from its grave beneath the dark waters. For centuries there had been tales of mysterious happenings in the stretch of ocean between Bermuda and Florida. Since 1945 over 100 planes and ships and 1000 people have simply vanished here into thin air. It had been known as the Hoodoo Sea, the Graveyard of the Atlantic or the Devil’s Triangle.

Charles Berlitz made the mystery world famous when he published his bestselling book in 1973. He spent over five years investigating this enigma which has baffled scientists for decades. Are the many UFO’s that have been sighted in the area hijacking boats and aircraft some kind of extraterrestrial survey of human activity? Are electromagnetic impulses from power sources of ancient civilizations causing space-time warps that wrench vessels into other dimensions? Are the disappearances somehow connected with the lost continent of Atlantis, said to lie beneath the sea?

In the era of nuclear fear, Cold War paranoia and unexplained sightings in the Nevada desert, this book tapped into a fascination with the paranormal which characterised the 1970s. To this day it remains an all-time classic. The Bermuda Triangle has sold over 20 million copies since publication and has been translated into thirty languages.

‘Frankly, it’s spellbinding!’- Kirkus Reviews

‘Chillingly recounts the amazing circumstances surrounding the losses of literally hundreds of ships, planes, and people … Dips into man’s archaeological past, ‘time-space warps,’ and ‘black holes’ to offer some clues … it’s fascinating’ - Detroit News

Charles Berlitz was born in New York in 1913, the grandson of Maximilian Berlitz, founder of the Berlitz language schools. He graduated with honours from Yale University and spoke thirty languages. He joined the family firm but sold it in the late 1960s. He became a noted writer on the paranormal and published a number of books including The Mystery of Atlantis, Mysteries from Forgotten Worlds, Without a Trace, The Lost Ship of Noah and The Dragon’s Triangle. He died in 2003.

Berlitz was born in New York City. He was the grandson of Maximilian Berlitz, who founded the Berlitz Language Schools. As a child, Charles was raised in a household in which (by his father's orders) every relative and servant spoke to Charles in a different language: he reached adolescence speaking eight languages fluently. In adulthood, he recalled having had the childhood delusion that every human being spoke a different language, wondering why he did not have his own language like everyone else in his household. His father spoke to him in German, his grandfather in Russian, and his nanny in Spanish.

He began working for the family language school, The Berlitz School of Languages, during college breaks. The publishing house, of which he was vice president, sold, among other things, tourist phrase books and pocket dictionaries, several of which he authored. He also played a key role in developing record and tape language courses. He left the company in the late 1960s, not long after he sold the company to publishing firm Crowell, Collier & Macmillan. He graduated magna cum laude from Yale University.

Berlitz was a writer on paranormal phenomena. He wrote a number of books on Atlantis. In his book The Mystery of Atlantis, he claimed Atlantis was real, based on his interpretation of geophysics, psychic studies, classical literature, tribal lore, and archeology.[3] He also attempted to link the Bermuda Triangle to Atlantis.He claimed to have located Atlantis undersea in the area of the Bermuda Triangle. He was also an ancient astronaut proponent who believed that extraterrestrials had visited earth.

Berlitz spent 13 years on active duty in the U.S. Army, mostly in intelligence. In 1950, he married Valerie Seary, with whom he had a daughter, Lynn. He died in 2003 at the age of 90 at University Hospital in Tamarac, Florida.

I read this book about 40 years ago, it was a nice stroll down memory lane for me.

Nice to have this book in kindle format. I did find a few nuggets that I overlooked when I read it in hardback; or this is an updated version

I’ve always been intrigued by the Triangle. At first I thought it was nonsense. But as I got further in the book, it really makes you wonder about past civilizations. As Berlitz said on the last page, “no mystery should surprise us simply because it doesn’t seem logical.” It’s a quick read. I recommend reading it. If you hate it, you’ve only lost about a week of your life.

Book is in great condition, especially for it's age. My Grandmother had this book and I wanted to read them again. Now that I am older I appreciate these hardbacks even more and there's nothing like a great book ( The Bermuda Triangle by Charles Berlitz was ordered ). I'm too old fashioned to want to curl up with a computer, I have those to deal with at work. I got this ahead of schedule and it was shipped well with no damage. Wonderful service and many thanks for this great book!

Got exactly what i wanted for a great price . Took a little bit of time for me to receive it in the mail but it didn't matter. I have been waiting to get this book for years ever since the first "bermuda Triangle" tv i watched and it was mentioned within. I believe it was History Channels "History's Mysteries".

This is one of a bunch of books that Berlitz did in the 1970s, when it seemd there was a bit of a craze for all that Mysteries of the Unknown stuff.

This is entertaining enough, and looking at the mystery of the disappearance of various vehicles in this area of the world, and the odd stories that have sprung up about it.

Read when it was originally released throught the RIF program in grade school .

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2024

I thoroughly enjoyed this book cover to cover. It was a first foray for me into the genre and boy was I hooked! Mr Berlitz is still my favorite author in this genre to this day, because of his no nonsense wrtiting style and presentation. It came along at a time in my life when I was searching for "chapter" books to jump to from reading children's books. I had tried all the old stand bys of the day, like Nancy Drew, Hardy boys, Boxcar children, NFL biographies but I couldn't get into any fo them. Thank heaven for RIF and the fact that this book caught my eye. It started me on a lifelong reading adventure.
