100 years ago, a luxury express sleeper train was en route to Peking, travelling through dangerous territory. In the middle of the night, the train is deliberately derailed and the passengers are kidnapped. The hostages include a journalist, the wealthy daughter of an a Rhode Island Senator, a French businessman, a gangster and a US Army Major. The kidnappers are a made up of several bandit factions working together under a charismatic 25-year-old leader, on the run from an Army trying to exterminate him and his band of outlaws.
Sounds like the plot to an action adventure film, but this story is true and is the subject of ‘The Peking Express’ by James M. Zimmerman.
James joins us to discuss the story and its backdrop, huge thanks to him for coming on the show!
