♦ $ A Night to Remember: The Classic Account of the Final Hours of the Titanic by Walter Lord
First published in 1955, A Night to Remember remains a completely riveting account of the Titanic's fatal collision and the behavior of the passengers and crew, both noble and ignominious. Some sacrificed their lives, while others fought like animals for their own survival. Wives beseeched husbands to join them in lifeboats; gentlemen went taut-lipped to their deaths in full evening dress; and hundreds of steerage passengers, trapped below decks, sought help in vain.
♦ $ America and Vietnam by Albert Marrin
♦ $ The Good Years: From 1900 to the First World War by Walter Lord
“These years were good because, whatever the trouble, people were sure they could fix it.” The first fourteen years of the twentieth century are frequently overlooked, being bookended by the glamorous Gilded Age at the beginning and the terrible years of the First World War at the end.
