Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. xii, [2], 322 pages. Endpaper maps. Illustrations. Maps. List of Contributors. Index. John Walter Lord Jr. (October 8, 1917 - May 19, 2002) was an American author, lawyer, copywriter and historian best known for his 1955 account of the sinking of the RMS Titanic, A Night to Remember. Lord wrote, or edited and annotated 11 bestselling books on such diverse subjects as the Attack on Pearl Harbor (Day of Infamy, 1957), the Battle of Midway (Incredible Victory, 1967), the Battle of the Alamo (A Time to Stand, 1961), the Battle of Baltimore (The Dawn's Early Light, 1972), Arctic exploration (Peary to the Pole, 1963), pre-World War I America (The Good Years: From 1900 to the First World War, 1960), Coastwatchers (Lonely Vigil, 1977), the Dunkirk evacuation (The Miracle of Dunkirk, 1982), and the civil rights struggle (The Past That Would Not Die, 1965). Lord published The Fremantle Diary, edited and annotated from the journals of the British officer and Confederate sympathizer, Arthur Fremantle, who toured the South for three months in 1863. It became a mild, but surprising, success in 1954, as Lord was well into completing A Night to Remember, which would win him much acclaim. A Night to Remember, about the sinking of the RMS Titanic, became a bestseller in 1955. The historian tracked down 63 Titanic survivors and wrote a dramatic, minute-by-minute account of the ocean liner's sinking during her maiden voyage. Lord's knowledge of the Titanic catastrophe achieved considerable renown, and he frequently lectured at meetings of the Titanic Historical Society. Called a stirring tale of forgotten heroes splendidly told by a master narrator, this saga of the valiant coastwatchers of the Pacific War exemplifies that rare combination of careful research and exciting narrative style that became a hallmark of Walter Lord's best-selling books. Though their importance has long been acknowledged, the coastwatchers had received relatively little attention until the publication of this book in 1977. The remarkable band of individualists, operating deep behind Japanese lines in the dark days of 1942-43, lived by their wits alone yet gave the Allies their best intelligence and rescued many a man from downed planes and sinking ships-including John f. Kennedy and his PT-109 crew. To piece their story together, Lord traveled 40,000 miles to interview participants, check archives, and examine private letters and diaries. He even made a three-day hike through the Guadalcanal jungle to inspect the coastwatcher hideout on Gold Ridge so he could successfully put readers in their shoes. The book's varied cast of intriguing characters has attracted readers ever since. Paul J. Pugliese (Maps) (illustrator).…

From the Macqueen-Pope papers. The occasion of the article was the forthcoming premiere of Rattigan's play 'The Sleeping Prince', Olivier's production of which, at the Phoenix Theatre in London, opened on 5 November 1953. The movie rights were bought by Marilyn Monroe, and the Hollywood film appeared in 1957 as 'The Prince and the Showgirl', with Olivier reprising his stage role, and Rattigan also writing the filmscript. See the entries on the Oliviers and Macqueen-Pope in the Oxford DNB. Interest in Beauchamp's novels has grown in recent years. All three of the present items are lightly-aged and in fair condition; the first two somewhat creased at extremities, the third less so. Item One with rust spots to one corner from paperclip. ONE: ALS from 'Barbara Beauchamp / Fiction Editor', Newnes & Pearson's, London, 15 September 1953. 1p, 12mo. Sheila Gould has informed her that MP 'will be able to write us a 1,500 word feature article on the new Terence Rattigan play, which the Oliviers are appearing in'. The publishers are planning the feature 'as a double spread in our issue of the 5th November, which is, incidentally, both the opening night, and, I believe, Vivien Leigh's birthday'. She asks for the article before the end of the month, and suggests 'a payment of forty guineas for British Empire serial rights'. The following two items are typed on 4to leaves of cartridge paper. TWO: Carbon of MP's covering TL to Beauchamp, 24 September 1953. 1p, 4to. With short autograph pencil filing note by MP. Begins: 'Here you are - the Olivier and Leigh First Night story - not critical naturally as being written before the event - but an attempt to show the whys and wherefores of the importance of this occasion and a little of the Theatre atmosphere.' He asks her to excuse his typing: 'being in the middle of hectic rehearsals at Drury Lane and without a secretary throws it all on me'. In a postscript he suggests a future article on 'the inside story of a first night'. THREE: Duplicated Typescript of MP's article, 'This is Real Theatre / The Oliviers Return to Town / by / W. Macqueen-Pope'. It does not seem to have been published in book form, nor does it appear to have left a digital footprint. 6pp, 4to, with each page on its own leaf. Double-spaced. MP begins in anticipation of a first night 'providing a thrill which no other type of entertainment can give, a thrill beyond anything which the Films, the Circus, Radio or Television can compass, and which even Grand Opera never reaches in general appeal', when 'the Leader of his Profession and his Leading Lady take the stage again'. He places the occasion within a wide context, with historical references beginning with 'the first true Theatre in Europe - that playhouse so rightly called The Theatre, in Shoreditch, where it arose in 1576'. After mentioning a number of notables in the history of the London stage, he praises Rattigan's play, of which he gives a synopsis. He continues in fulsome terms: 'Everybody who is Anybody - and a sprinkling of those who are not - will be there. [.] It will be like one of the great days of old. [.] an Occasion of Occasions'.…
