Black Gold, Black Death : In Coal Country, America's President Is Marked for Assassination
Signed
Paperback, 180 pages
Willie Metz is more than he seems to be—more than a coal miner who knows no other way to make a living. Yet when his wife begs him to get out of the mine in Cabin Creek, West Virginia, he does not heed her plea.
The mountain rumbles, but Willie and the others continue to risk their lives digging out the black gold. Meanwhile, coal mine barons are replacing men with machines and switching operations from digging under the mountains to raping the tops of them, spoiling the streams and the air for everyone in the vicinity, not just the miners who make a living in the mines.
Dan Blackman is one of those coal barons, but his life changes drastically when his life is threatened in his mine. The people in West Virginia coal mining country despise the president of the United States who has just been re-elected, judging him to be at war with Coal, and some of the leaders hatch a plot to assassinate him on their turf. Will they succeed?
Will Willie’s past catch up with him?
Author Biography: Ed Rabel, an Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist and author whose reporting experience spans five decades of world-shaping events, is today a highly-respected strategic communications counselor and adjunct professor of journalism at The Edward R. Murrow College of Communications.
His memoir, Ed Rabel Reports: Lies, Wars and Other Misadventures, was published by Keith Publications in September 2012. As a child of Appalachia,
Rabel is supremely suited to spin this fable of Appalachia, a tale of people trapped in the hills with no way to get out and a seemingly perverted loyalty to the very thing that keeps them down. King Coal hires them, enslaves them, sickens them, kills them, and they will take on anyone who wants to fight King Coal, including the president of the United States. Ed Rabel feels their pain, but he hates their ignorance. The ignorance is what drove Ed Rabel out of the state as a young man. It is what drove Rabel to succeed, what drove him to excel at his chosen trade.
As he appeared, reporting, in living rooms all over the country via CBS in the 1970s and ’80s from Vietnam and elsewhere, and via NBC in the 1990s from the Pentagon, Americans received him as an old friend. Now Americans will recognize him as a person to trust in telling this story—a West Virginian telling a West Virginia tale.
