In the early hours of New Year's Eve 1969, in the small soft-coal mining borough of Clarksville, Pennsylvania, longtime trade union insider Joseph "Jock" Yablonski and his wife and daughter were brutally murdered in their old stone farmhouse. Seven months earlier, Yablonski had announced his campaign to oust the corrupt president of the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA), Tony Boyle. Boyle had long embezzled UMWA funds, silenced intra-union dissent, and served the interests of Big Coal companies. He was enraged about his opponent's bid to take over.
An extraordinary portrait of one of the nation's major unions on the brink of historical change, Blood Runs Coal comes at a time of resurgent labor movements in the United States and the current administration's attempts to bolster the fossil fuel industry. Brilliantly researched and compellingly written, it sheds light on the far-reaching effects of industrial and socioeconomic change that unfold across America to this day.
Описание: Eugene Bullard lived one of the most fascinating lives of the twentieth century. The son of a former slave and an Indigenous Creek woman, Bullard fled home at the age of eleven to escape the racial hostility of his Georgia community.

But little did he know that the dramatic, globe-spanning arc of his life had just begun.

Описание: Their first date in college was a U2 concert and after that Lauren and Jack Grandcolas were inseparable. He was mesmerized by her sweetness, fierce intelligence and eyes that were as blue and alive as the ocean. They married and settled in San Francisco, each pursuing their dreams in the business world. After a decade of trying, Lauren finally got pregnant at the age of 38. On Sept. 6, 2001 she flew to New Jersey--her beloved Little Grandma had died and following the funeral Lauren shared the joyous news of her pregnancy to lift her family's spirits. Flying home to Jack on September 11th, she arrived at Newark airport early and walked on to a flight for which she hadn't been ticketed: United 93. During that terrifying flight, Lauren left a calm and reassuring voice mail for Jack which remains a testament to her courage and selfless love, even in the face of her own mortality. Like A River To The Sea is a story of love overcoming loss. In this moving memoir, Jack Grandcolas brings to life his college sweetheart while taking the reader through his long journey to make peace with the loss of Lauren and their unborn child. Jack is honest about the depth of his despair and his battles with depression, PTSI, and heavy drinking. As he digs himself out of the deepest hole imaginable, Jack learns universal truths that will help anyone confronted with tragedy. Like A River To The Sea is also a deeply personal look at an event of historical importance. Jack takes us inside the White House to meet with President Bush and to the precipice of a still-smoldering hole in the earth outside of Shanksville, Penn. There is a clear-eyed examination of the twisted history between the United States and Saudi Arabia--homeland of fifteen of the 9/11 hijackers--which offers important context as to why Jack and other surviving family members remain locked in a two-decade legal battle with the House of Saud seeking to prove its material support of the terrorists. And the book goes aboard United 93 in its final minutes, when this brave collection of Americans fought to retake control of the plane, ultimately preventing the hijackers from completing their mission and becoming the first heroes in the war against terror. As with Jack's life, Like A River To The Sea is defined by the boundless depths of human love. Eighteen years after losing his wife and their unborn baby, Jack finally remarried, and his new bride so honors the love between him and Lauren that her wedding ring includes stones that Lauren once wore on her finger. This is the magic of Like A River To The Sea, which begins with heartbreak but becomes a story about the triumph of the human spirit.

Описание:
Murder, deceit, and lies surrounded the life of Marty Levine. He was an assistant prosecutor for the Manhattan district attorney's office and was assigned to bring a criminal action against a young man of color for murder and rape. At every turn, he was challenged by Audrey Kincade, the deceased wife and accuser of rape. During Marty's investigation to seek the truth, he opened the door to treachery, murder for profit, and betrayal from a woman he loved and intended to marry. It was his baptism to a world of crime, and those who profaned the badge they wore, sworn to protect its citizens. They dishonored themselves and their oath under God. Marty was an honorable man in the shadowy world of lawbreakers and those pledged to uphold the law. He was raised in the streets of Manhattan and was a gifted athlete. He developed a close relationship with George Foster, both boys equally talented and destined to become professional baseball players, signing contracts in 1963. But their na vet of the world beyond their borders would shatter their ambitions, and the blood brother ritual performed as pre-teens to always stand guard for the other faded like a summer breeze. The prejudice against people of color was a historical benchmark for over two-hundred years in the country's southern states and caused George Foster to abandon his dream for fear that his life could be taken by the mere whim of a social zealot. Marty tried to convince George to continue the pursuit of his cherished ambition. But, all communication between the two would end for six years, when fate would bring them together, not as friends, but as adversaries. The future prosecutor languished in misfortune when he suffered a career-ending injury, Marty's mother, guiding him through his disappointment. He attended law school, then worked in the Manhattan's district attorneys office, where he would become the prosecutor in a high profile murder-rape case, the accused, an African American working for the victim in Scarsdale, New York. The case would become a love-triangle of deception, murder, and betrayal, Marty Levine, in the fight for his career and life, as unseen forces motivated by greed wouldn't allow anything or anyone to prevent the biggest payday of their lives.
