In 1906, Upton Sinclair shocked the world with his gritty expose of the American meatpacking industry, The Jungle, ushering in a new era of unflinchingly realistic fiction in the process. A decade later, Sinclair followed up with King Coal, a gripping novel that affords readers a jaw-dropping look at the appalling conditions that brought about the 1914-1915 coal strikes in Colorado.
