A major new work of history, told through the stories of a teeming cast of characters.The history of coal is the story of the last two centuries of the industrialized world. Coal has powered that world, and controlled the destinies of millions. And nowhere has that influence run more deeply than in Nova Scotia, where the industrys rise and decline has transformed society twice.Coal Black Heart is a global history that centres unapologetically on one province, and the generations of people whose lives there have been shaped by this dominating industry. There are the miners. There are the moonshiners and brooding social reformers and charismatic preachers who gave the mining towns their particular feel and flair. And there are the profiteers whose greed led to disaster.This is history as great storytelling enthralling, involving, deeply moving, and it is a very personal narrative. A brilliant reporter, journalist, and author who has spent most of his career examining Nova Scotias weave of land, people, and history and who grew up listening to its stories John DeMont was born to write this book.

The premise of the book is great, but I found some parts confusing and hard to follow. It seems like it jumps around a bit too much. Still, it’s an interesting topic that deserves attention!

A Must-Read for History Buffs
This book is a treasure trove of stories about coal's influence on society. The author really dives into the human aspect, making it relatable and poignant. I bought it for my dad, and he loved it!

Interesting but Lacked Depth
While I appreciated the stories shared in this book, I expected a more analytical approach to the subject of coal. It’s good for casual reading, but I felt it missed some key points. Still worth checking out!

Not What I Expected
I thought I was getting more historical facts but ended up with a lot of personal anecdotes. It’s well-written, but I was hoping for a deeper insight into coal's role in history. Just didn't hit the mark for me.

Interesting Narratives
I found the narratives around coal fascinating. The book weaves together various lives affected by it, which adds a personal touch. The only downside was that some sections dragged on a bit. Overall, a solid read!
