Bestselling author Paul French (Midnight in Peking) returns to China's capital to tell 18 true stories of fascinating people - many Americans among them - who visited the city in the first half of the 20th century.
From wealthy Woolworths heiress Barbara Hutton to the poor Mona Monteith, who worked as a prostitute; from socialite Wallis Simpson to the 1930s 'It' couple Edgar and Helen Foster Snow; Destination Peking brings a lost pre-communist era back to life.
