<DIV><B>In this <I>New York Times</I> bestseller, the author of <I>A Night to Remember</I> and <I>The Miracle of Dunkirk</I> revisits the <I>Titanic</I> disaster.</B><BR /> &#160;<BR /> Walter Lord&rsquo;s <I>A Night to Remember</I> was a landmark work that recounted the harrowing events of April 14, 1912, when the British ocean liner RMS <I>Titanic</I> went down in the North Atlantic Ocean, a book that inspired a classic movie of the same name. In <I>The Night Lives On</I>, Lord takes the exploration further, revealing information about the ship&rsquo;s last hours that emerged in the decades that followed, and separating myths from facts.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Was the ship really christened before setting sail on its maiden voyage? What song did the band play as water spilled over the bow? How did the ship&rsquo;s wireless operators fail so badly, and why did the nearby <I>Californian</I>, just ten miles away when the <I>Titanic</I> struck the iceberg, not come to the rescue? Lord answers these questions and more, in a gripping investigation of the night when approximately 1,500 victims were lost to the sea.<BR /> &#160;</DIV>
