The classic minute-by-minute account of the sinking of the
"Titanic," in a 50th anniversary edition with a new introduction by
Nathaniel Philbrick First published in 1955, "A Night to Remember"
remains a completely riveting account of the "Titanic"'s fatal
collision and the behavior of the passengers and crew, both noble
and ignominious. Some sacrificed their lives, while others fought
like animals for their own survival. Wives beseeched husbands to
join them in lifeboats; gentlemen went taut-lipped to their deaths
in full evening dress; and hundreds of steerage passengers, trapped
below decks, sought help in vain. Available for the first time in
trade paperback and with a new introduction for the 50th
anniversary edition by Nathaniel Phil-brick, author of "In the
Heart of the Sea" and "Sea of Glory," Walter Lord's classic
minute-by-minute re-creation is as vivid now as it was upon first
publication fifty years ago. From the initial distress flares to
the struggles of those left adrift for hours in freezing waters,
this semicentennial edition brings that moonlit night in 1912 to
life for a new generation of readers.
