Lord, Walter, Jr.
▪ 2003

      American writer (b. Oct. 8, 1917, Baltimore, Md.—d. May 19, 2002, New York, N.Y.), reignited public interest in the 1912 sinking of the Titanic with his riveting minute-by-minute account of the ship's final night in the best-seller A Night to Remember (1955). He followed that book with other historical narratives, including Day of Infamy (1957), about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor; Incredible Victory (1967), about the Battle of Midway; and The Miracle of Dunkirk (1982).
