In 1922, a coal miner strike spread across the United States,
swallowing the heavily-unionized mining town of Herrin, Illinois.
When the owner of the town's local mine hired non-union workers to
break the strike, violent conflict broke out between the
strikebreakers and unionized miners, who were all heavily armed.
When strikebreakers surrendered and were promised safe passage
home, the unionized miners began executing them before large,
cheering crowds. This book tells the cruel truth behind the story
that the coal industry tried to suppress and that Herrin wants to
forget. A thorough account of the massacre and its aftermath, this
book sets a heartland tragedy against the rise and decline of the
coal industry.
