Description:
In May 1923, when Shanghai publisher and reporter John Benjamin Powell bought a first-class ticket for the Peking Express, he pictured an idyllic overnight journey on a brand-new train of unprecedented luxury-exactly what the advertisements promised. Seeing his fellow passengers, including mysterious Italian lawyer Giuseppe Musso, a confidante of Mussolini and lawyer for the opium trade, and American heiress Lucy Aldrich, sister-in-law of John D. Rockefeller Jr., he knew it would be an unforgettable trip.



Charismatic bandit leader and populist rabble rouser Sun Mei-yao had also taken notice of the new train from Shanghai to Peking. On the night of Powell's trip of a lifetime, Sun launched his plan to make a brazen political statement: he and a thousand fellow bandits descended on the train, capturing dozens of hostages.



Aided by local proxy authorities, the humiliated Peking government soon furiously gave chase. At the bandits' mountain stronghold, a five-week siege began.



Brilliantly written, with new and original research, The Peking Express tells the incredible true story of a clash that shocked the world-becoming so celebrated it inspired several Hollywood movies-and set the course for China's two-decade civil war.

good durable shirts
Size: 4X-Large, Color: Black
The Carhartt K87 pocket t-shirt is a classic for a reason. The heavyweight cotton material feels durable and high quality, making it great for both work and everyday wear. It holds up well over time and doesn’t feel flimsy like cheaper t-shirts. The loose fit is one of the standout features—it gives you plenty of room to move and stays comfortable even during long days. The chest pocket is a nice touch for small items, and the overall construction feels solid with minimal twisting after washing. Comfort-wise, it starts a bit stiff but softens up after a few washes, which is pretty typical for thicker cotton shirts. It’s also available in a wide range of colors, so it’s easy to grab a few and rotate them. The main downside is the fit can run large and slightly boxy, so you might want to size down depending on how you like your shirts to fit. Some people may also find the heavyweight fabric a bit warm in hot weather. Overall, it’s a reliable, long-lasting t-shirt that delivers great value for the price and is perfect if you want something durable and simple.

Great quality item!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
Great quality & very durable! We love any product made by Carhartt! The size is always great, they do not shrink and the neckline does not stretch out easily, which makes for a great casual wear appearance!

It’s ok
Size: XX-Large Tall, Color: Carbon Heather
The collar area felt kind of tight for him. The shirt is nice and long, but not thick.

Carbon Carhartt
Size: XX-Large, Color: Carbon Heather
Classic Carhartt quality. Reasonably thick t shirt with a bit of stretch, but still sturdy and rugged. I put this on as soon as it arrived. I have nothing but a plethora of carhartt t's for the spring and summer. Added this color, Carbon Heather, to my collection. It looks plain cool. Almost like carbon fiber.
