Ms. Giardina knows this world first hand. She grew up in a coal camp and has produced an epic that is mostly unknown. If you want to know why unemployed miners are an angry crowd, you need to know the many ways they were exploited starting from the destruction of Appalachia's virgin forests by loggers in the 19th century, the phony deeds to property they thought they owned, and the most often violent attempts by coal operators and their hired guns to crush every and all organizing efforts until the United Mine Workers appeared to prevail during the New Deal. But not for long. The coal operators and the Union's next move was to sell off the hospitals they built and end the free medical service provided by funding from the Union and their operator allies. The final round of violence, portrayed by Giardina, took place in the 1950s and 1960s while mechanization reduced the workforce to a shadow of itself. You might want to carefully count how many times miners, black and white, were expletived over by mine operators, their union, and the federal government with its basically worthless "War on Poverty". Giardina tells the whole story in a really compelling read. ### ⭐⭐⭐ The lives of others *by C***I on Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2015* This is a story for someone interested in life for coal-mining folks of Appalachia. You get an insight into the hard life they lived with the bonus of a forbidden love, thwarted dreams, and the struggle between the workers and the coal companies as part of the same story. I found it a good read to put yourself in the place of other people and parts of the country plus the doomed union movement's attempt to keep the forces of the strip miners at bay. Worth a read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every one who had or has a loved one that does any kind of mining should read ... *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2017* Every one who had or has a loved one that does any kind of mining should read this book, You will understand why the union was so important to coal miners, to have endured what they endured is awful, its simply slavery. Todaypeople want to dismiss Unions, but I think we will see the day when they will return greater than ever. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/83660823-the-unquiet-earth-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/83660823-the-unquiet-earth-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
