Reviews
YA The Titanic , tragically, was not unsinkable, but her legend has shown much greater seaworthiness. Walter Lord has written a companion volume to his A Night to Remember (Holt, 1976). Subtitled ``New Thoughts, Theories and Revelations about the Titanic,'' the book is just that. It sheds light on the answers to questions both great (Who was most responsible for the tragedy?) and small (Just what tune was the final one played?) stemming from the events of April 14, 1912. The Night Lives On is an excellent source for students seeking information on the tragedy. Lord's sense of detail, anecdote, and human interest is as sharp as ever, making this book both informative and entertaining. Karl Penny, Houston Public Library

In the more than 70 years since its occurrence, the Titanic disaster has evolved into a modern legend. The 1985 discovery and filming of the submerged ship renewed interset in the catastrophe and prompts this book. Lord, author of the 1955 bestseller, A Night To Remember , states that "scores of riddles remain; these pages explain a few of the most intriguing." In a brisk, authoritative narrative a selection of Titanic lore, ranging from its design to its destruction, is presented and examined. Was the ship ever billed as "unsinkable"? Was the accident one in a million as is popularly thought? What did the famed band play as the ship went down? In short, this should be a popular work of enduring interest and a welcome companion to the author's earlier work. Jerry Maioli, Western Lib. Network, Olympia, Wash.
