The Nine Lives of Charles E. Lively

"R.G. Yoho's book is a fluently rendered, skillfully focused study of Charles Lively, who was a smart, tenacious, and nuanced man at the heart of West Virginia's fight for coal and the men who mined it. Richly and carefully researched, Yoho's evocative prose makes this book an absorbing narrative."
