Coal: A Memoir and Critique
"Duane Lockard has produced a small masterpiece on the coal corporations' predatory march though the American Century. Part personal memoir and part detailed history, as seen through the eyes of a young coal miner, Lockard's book traces the impact of King Coal on the life and death of miners, families, and communities. He goes to the core of the immunities and privileges of the corporate structure that are increasingly dominating our political economy. For readers who want to know what can happen when corporations seize too much power, Duane Lockard's Coal is your gripping reality." -- -- Ralph Nader
