A Night to Remember

‘Absolutely gripping and unputdownable.’

David McCullough, Pulitzer prize-winning author

‘Walter Lord singlehandedly revived interest in the Titanic… an electrifying book.’

John Maxtone-Graham, maritime historian and author

‘A Night to Remember was a new kind of narrative history—quick, episodic, unsolemn. Its immense success inspired a film of the same name three years later.’

Ian Jack, Guardian

‘Devotion, gallantry… Benjamin Guggenheim changing to evening clothes to meet death; Mrs Isador Straus clinging to her husband, refusing to get in a lifeboat; Arthur Ryerson giving his lifebelt to his wife’s maid… A book to remember.’

Chicago Tribune

‘Seamless and skilful… it’s clear why this is many a researcher’s Titanic bible.’

Entertainment Weekly

‘Enthralling from the first word to the last.’

Atlantic Monthly
