Book excerpt: John Wayne teams up with Kirk Douglas in The War Wagon, an action-packed western filmed in a remote part of Mexico. Wayne plays rancher Taw Jackson who's dead set on capturing an iron-clad stagecoach belonging to cattle baron West Catlin, the man who stole his fortune and good name years before. To pull off the heist, Wayne puts together a crew that includes an old character, a half-civilized Indian, a young drunk and a cocky gunfighter. Of course, they manage the impossible to the tune of half a million dollars in gold bullion and the music of Academy Award winner Dimitri Tiomkin.
