<p><b>In the tradition of Erik Larson's <i>Dead Wake</i> comes <i>The Last Voyage of the Andrea Doria</i>, about the sinking of the glamorous Italian ocean liner, including never-before-seen photos of the wreck today.</b><br><br>In 1956, a stunned world watched as the famous Italian ocean liner <i>Andrea Doria</i> sank after being struck by a Swedish vessel off the coast of Nantucket. Unlike the tragedy of the <i>Titanic</i>, this sinking played out in real time across radios and televisions, the first disaster of the modern age. Audiences witnessed everything that ensued after the unthinkable collision of two modern vessels equipped with radar: perilous hours of uncertainty; the heroic rescue of passengers; and the final gasp as the pride of the Italian fleet slipped beneath the Atlantic, taking some fifty lives with her. Her loss signaled the end of the golden age of ocean liner travel.<br><br>Now, Greg King and Penny Wilson offer a fresh look at this legendary liner and her tragic fate. <i>Andrea Doria</i> represented the romance of travel, the possibility of new lives in the new world, and the glamour of 1950s art, culture, and life. Set against a glorious backdrop of celebrity
