Walter Lord explores hot topics related to the sinking of the Titanic in this sequel to one of my favorite nonfiction reads, A Night to Remember. Lord looks closely at the captain and his actions on the night of the sinking of the ship. He examines the watchmen's reports just before the sighting of the iceberg. Lord tries to determine exactly how the iceberg hit the ship and what damage was done. He looks at why one ship saw the emergency flares from Titanic survivors but failed to come to their rescue. Lord explains the trials in both England and America to determine exactly what happened. He shows what happened in later life to the survivors.
