If you like your American history real, raw, bloody, and very descriptive, then this might be the book for you. You may also enjoy this bit of history, especially if you come from or live in the rural Blue Ridge Mountains/Appalachia and want to see what it was like for some people over 100 years ago.
This book is about the bloody battle between the miners who wanted to join the union and King Coal, who wouldn't let them. It also shows us how so many ethnicities and people from different countries and cultures managed to band together to try and beat the 'enemy'.
It is a terrifying historical novel that sticks more with history in all of its blood, guts, and glory and a lot less with fiction (yes, a lot of this was fictionalized, but not much, I think).
Long descriptive passages and a compelling look into the life of “Doc Moo" Muhanna, a Lebanese-American doctor (inspired by the author’s own great-grandfather), and what he has to deal with not to take sides.
Well worth reading if you can really handle the horrors of what trying to break into a union really meant to our ancestors.
