A Night to Remember​

Walter Lord

Introduced by Dominic Sandbrook

Relive the gripping story of the Titanic’s final hours with A Night to Remember by Walter Lord, now in a beautifully crafted Folio Society edition. Featuring an introduction by historian Dominic Sandbrook, this is the definitive book of that fateful night, capturing the drama and tragedy of the passengers onboard.

At 11.40 p.m. on the night of 14 April 1912, the Titanic struck an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean. Everyone thinks they know what happened next. But you don’t – you really don’t – until you read A Night to Remember. This definitive account and the source for countless novels, plays and films, including James Cameron's Titanic, is based on the testimony of survivors, as interviewed by Walter Lord. In his minute-by-minute piecing together of events, Lord manages to convey both the detail and the sweep, the small sorrows and the all-embracing horror.

Our edition features 100 images of ephemera, photographs, portraits of the passengers and crew and modern photographs of the wreck. And we've sourced an original deck plan, large-scale and folded in a back pocket, blocked with the White Star Line flag. Its details are fascinating, showing everything from the lifeboat positions to the valets' quarters. The introduction by historian and presenter of The Rest is History podcast, Dominic Sandbrook, delves into the rivalry between Britain and the US that helped set the stage for one of history's most infamous maritime disasters.
