One lawyer confronts a coal industry giant in a battle over clean drinking water for a West Virginia communityâfrom Wall Street Journal reporter Kris Maher.
What The Reviewers Say
Maher’s sharp, detailed prose reads like fiction, but unfortunately this gripping account is the horrific true story of those who have sacrificed their own lives and livelihood for clean, drinkable water. In the end, the enemy is nothing less than corporate greed..
A comprehensive account.
Even though the text is dense with legal motions and depositions, the author maintains forward momentum and nicely balances case details.
