A Night to Remember: The Classic Account of the Final Hours of the Titanic by Walter Lord

5.0

Very good! Loved hearing first hand accounts of the event and Lord's style of writing was excellent. I loved the part where he mentions Jack Thayer having a bit of brandy for the first time on the Carpathia and realizing that he's a grown up, despite having spent the night balancing on an overturned lifeboat in frigid Atlantic waters. Also loved how straight and to the point it was, it really was about that NIGHT, not about the construction of the Titantic or the squabbling over the business matters.
