The Night Lives On

Hardcover (Charnwood Aug. 1, 1999)
'A tour de force...an absolute must for anyone intrigued by the TITANIC' - JOHN MAXTONE-GRAHAM 'A fresh and absorbing look at the classic sea disaster by a master storyteller' - ARTHUR SCHLESINGER, Jr The most awesome ocean-going vessel the world had ever seen, the mighty TITANIC struck an iceberg and sank on the night of 14th April, 1912, carrying more than fifteen hundred souls - and unaccountable secrets - to the icy bottom of the mid-Atlantic. Why did the crew steam full speed ahead into dangerous waters despite six wireless warnings? How able was Captain Smith? Why did the nearby ship CALIFORNIAN ignore TITANIC's distress signals? How could such a disaster ever have occurred? Walter Lord explores - and answers - the untold mysteries behind the twentieth century's greatest catastrophe at sea.
