On April 20, 1914, in the small railroad town of Ludlow, Colorado, striking coal miners and state National Guardsmen waged a day long battle that ended with the burning of a strikers' tent colony. The "Ludlow Massacre", as it came to be know, was only part of a seven month war in which at least seventy five people were killed. Martelle explores this largely forgotten American saga of coal miners rising against political and economic corruption, a fight that embraced some of the most volatile social movements of the early twentieth century.
