A Survivor's Tale: The Titanic
In 1940, haunted by his own survival, John B. Thayer set down his searing memories of the S.S. Titanic's last moments as a tribute to his father, who had not survived the disaster. Presented with a new introduction by Lorin Stein, A Survivor's Tale gives an unforgettable firsthand account of an event that seemingly “symbolized the collapse of civilization.”
