    <body><![CDATA[Sinclair was unquestionably on the side of the angels, and I love him for it, but he wasn't what you'd call a great writer, on the evidence of this novel.  That said, it does pick up a bit towards the end, which also features an incongruously zany cross-dressing episode.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[When taken in historical context (1917) this is an amazing story from my favorite muckraker.

    <![CDATA[<em>from the </em><strong>INTRODUCTION:</strong> Upton Sinclair is one of the not too many writers who have consecrated their lives to the agitation for social justice, and who have also enrolled their art in the service of a set purpose. A great and non-temporizing enthusiast, he never flinched from making sacrifices. Now and then he attained great material successes as a writer, but invariably he invested and lost his earnings in enterprises by which he had hoped to ward off injustice and to further human happiness. Though disappointed time after time, he never lost faith nor courage to start again.  <p>As a convinced socialist and eager advocate of unpopular doctrines, as an exposer of social conditions that would otherwise be screened away from the public eye, the most influential journals of his country were as a rule arraigned against him. Though always a poor man, though never willing to grant to publishers the concessions essential for many editions and general popularity, he was maliciously represented to be a carpet knight of radicalism and a socialist millionaire. He has several times been obliged to change his publisher, which goes to prove that he is no seeker of material gain.</p> <p>Upton Sinclair is one of the writers of the present time most deserving of a sympathetic interest. He shows his patriotism as an American, not by joining in hymns to the very conditional kind of liberty peculiar to the United States, but by agitating for infusing it with the elixir of real liberty, the liberty of humanity. He does not limit himself to a dispassionate and entertaining description of things as they are. But in his appeals to the honour and good-fellowship of his compatriots, he opens their eyes to the appalling conditions under which wage-earning slaves are living by the hundreds of thousands. His object is to better these unnatural conditions, to obtain for the very poorest a glimpse of light and happiness, to make even them realise the sensation of cosy well-being and the comfort of knowing that justice is to be found also for them.</p> <p>This time Upton Sinclair has absorbed himself in the study of the miner's life in the lonesome pits of the Rocky Mountains, and his sensitive and enthusiastic mind has brought to the world an American parallel to GERMINAL, Emile Zola's technical masterpiece.</p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a really good book, in fact I enjoyed it much more than Oil, the other Sinclair book I had read.  I found it particularly interesting working on a tunnel project and working with the tunnel union and see what the conditions were like.  The greed was remarkable]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Upton Sinclair is best known for writing <em>The Jungle</em> -- a novel that exposes the practices of the meat packing industry that lead to governmental investigations and changed food laws in America. <p><em>King Coal</em> is based on the 1914 and 1915 coal strikes and follows Hal Warner, a rich man who wanted a look into commoners' lives. What he found there was abhorrent -- thus begins the tale of unionization and the advocacy workers' rights. Unionization, however, is easier spoken of than it is accomplished. It was a dangerous task -- for the leaders of the coal mines were hardened men, men who would not stop at petty threats and minor violence.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Upton Sinclair is best known for writing <em>The Jungle</em> -- a novel that exposes the practices of the meat packing industry that lead to governmental investigations and changed food laws in America. <p><em>King Coal</em> is based on the 1914 and 1915 coal strikes and follows Hal Warner, a rich man who wanted a look into commoners' lives. What he found there was abhorrent -- thus begins the tale of unionization and the advocacy workers' rights. Unionization, however, is easier spoken of than it is accomplished. It was a dangerous task -- for the leaders of the coal mines were hardened men, men who would not stop at petty threats and minor violence.</p>]]>
