Reviews
"Reads like fiction but inspires outrage in the muckraking tradition of Lincoln Steffens and Rachel Carson."-New York Times "A real-life epic of brutally indifferent government, greedy corporations, and the unlikely heroes. You'll feel enraged to know the truth of what happened in our mountains and proud of your fellow Americans who took on Goliath."-John Passacantando, executive director, Greenpeace USA "A thorough and often passionate account . . . The Day the Earth Caved In shines."-Washington Post Book World "Fascinating . . . [an] excellent study."-Denver Post "First-rate research and journalism."-Kirkus Reviews, starred review "It is quite a story."-Wall Street Journal "Quigley's riveting account of the nation's most devastating mine fire will change the way you think about so-called natural disasters, and the emotions we attach to the places we call home. This is an extraordinary book." -Sean Wilentz, author ofThe Rise of American Democracy "If you can imagine a book that combines the gritty dignity ofHow Green Was My Valleywith the muckraking ofSilent Spring, then you have some sense of this deeply affecting work."-Samuel G. Freedman, author ofUpon This Rock "Joan Quigley, the granddaughter of coal miners, has combined meticulous reporting and personal passion to bring us this important book - one that illuminates an underground blaze that many corporate and government officials sought to smother and conceal." -Gay Talese, author ofA Writer's Life "Quigley takes this complex story involving politics, science and history and weaves it into something that informs and entertains."-Lexington Herald-Leader
