From the #1 international bestselling author of The Revenant – the book that inspired the award-winning movie – comes the remarkable true story of the worst mining disaster in American history. In 1917, the lives of a company of miners changed forever when the underground labyrinth of tunnels in which they worked burst into flames. Within an hour, more than four hundred men would be locked in a battle to survive. Within three days, one hundred and sixty-four of them would be dead. The book, penned by the Sunday Times bestselling author, delves deep into the geology and science behind the disaster, making it a must-read for those intrigued by the interplay of nature and industrial labour. It also sheds light on the political relations of the time, adding another layer to this tragic tale. For fans of Steven Rinella (The MeatEater Outdoor Cookbook), David Grann (Killers of the Flower Moon), S.A. Cosby (Blacktop Wasteland), Dee Brown (The Gentle Tamers), and Ben Macintyre (Colditz).
