{"product_id":"9780786735945","title":"The Battle of Blair Mountain: The Story of America's Largest Labor Uprising","description":"In 1921, some 10,000 West Virginia coal miners-- outraged over years of brutality and exploitation-- picked up their Winchesters and marched against their tormentors, the powerful mine owners who ruled their corrupt state. For ten days the miners fought a pitched battle against an opposing legion of deputies, state police, and makeshift militia. Only the intervention of a Federal expeditionary force ended this undeclared war. In \u003ci\u003eThe Battle of Blair Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e, Robert Shogan shows this long-neglected slice of American history to be a saga of the conflicting political, economic, and cultural forces that shaped the power structure of twentieth-century America.","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47077758271728,"sku":"9780786735945","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780786735945_p0.jpg?v=1763727102","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780786735945","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
