In the remote mountain valleys of Appalachia, a region made infamous by the Hatfield-McCoy feud, coal miners and their families lived at the margins. Coal mining was a poorly paid brutal and dangerous occupation. Mining companies controlled corrupt local government, exerting a form of institutionalized oppression described as corporate feudalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMine operators refused to negotiate labor agreements. Contracting with the Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency as armed security, mining interests repressed striking miners causing the worst labor violence in U.S. history. Into this hostile environment a decorated former U.S. Marine and an activist female lawyer come to West Virginia and become drawn into the conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Douglas Clark","offers":[{"title":"eBook (epub)","offer_id":43329308983394,"sku":"wam1789305681329","price":7.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Softcover","offer_id":43329309016162,"sku":"fdt1789305681330","price":18.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43329309048930,"sku":"ivx1789305681331","price":26.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/0439\/4082\/files\/fire-in-the-hole_1.jpg?v=1789305688","url":"https:\/\/www.elmwoodmarket.shop\/products\/fire-in-the-hole","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
