In 1922, a coal miner strike spread across the US, swallowing the heavily-unionized mining town of Herrin, Illinois. When the owner of the town's mine hired non-union workers to break the strike, violent conflict broke out. This book tells the cruel truth behind the story that the coal industry tried to suppress and that Herrin wants to forget.
