In this appealing memoir, Marcel Péroche paints a detailed fresco of domestic and working life on the French railways between 1920 and the early 1950s with sorties into pre-war Germany and several months on the Orient Express service in Syria. On his return to France, Péroche gives an unexpected and at times controversial view of working under the Germans. . . and an equally candid description of the arrival of the Americans and the liberation of France in June 1944. Pacific Senator is an extraordinary work that will delight the railway enthusiast and general reader alike. Illustrated.
