You've probably never thought much about Diesel fuel or Diesel engines beyond the mere technical- but how about the man who invented the power plant that moves the world?
Few people realize that he disappeared without a trace on the evening of September 29, 1913 from a passenger ferry crossing from Antwerp, Belgium to London, England.
In his book "The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel", New York Times
best-selling author Douglas Brunt plays detective and weaves a true story of innovation, intrigue and "Great Power" games- all culminating in the fascinating reveal of what happened to Rudolf Diesel.
This encore presentation has been released to mark the paperback publication of Doug's terrific book- so if you missed this episode the first time, you'll surely enjoy this interview.
