A Night To Remember

The story of the "unsinkable" TITANIC. 'A stunning book, incomparably the best on its subject and one of the most exciting books.' - NY Times Book Review '...presented in such superb narrative style. It is a book to remember.' - Chicago Tribune She was four city blocks long, with the latest, most ingenious safety devices; a French "side-walk cafe", private promenade decks - but only twenty lifeboats for the two thousand, two hundred and seven passengers on board. Gliding through a calm sea, disdainful of all obstacles, the TITANIC brushed an iceberg. Two hours and forty minutes later she upended and sank. Only seven hundred and five survivors were picked up from her half-filled boats. Here recounted are the drama, horror and tragedy of that grim, heart-breaking night.
