Are you ready for an epic battle for clean water and justice? Look no further than "Desperate: An Epic Battle for Clean Water and Justice in Appalachia." Set in the heart of Appalachian coal country, this legal drama will have you on the edge of your seat. Join environmental lawyer Kevin Thompson as he takes on the coal industry giant in a seven-year fight to secure clean drinking water for a West Virginia community.
In the taps and wells of Mingo County, the water didn't look, smell, or taste right for two decades. Could this contaminated water be the cause of various health issues, from kidney stones to cancer, in the local community? Kevin Thompson certainly believed so. In an epic legal battle against Massey Energy, West Virginia's most powerful coal company led by CEO Don Blankenship, Thompson fought tirelessly for justice and the preservation of the well-being of the community.
While the coal company's lawyers strategized from the comfort of their gray glass office tower in Charleston, nicknamed "the Death Star," Thompson set up his base in a humble hotel in the struggling coal town of Williamson. Collaborating with a team of dedicated lawyers and passionate activists, Thompson embarked on an investigative journey that would expose the dangerous shortcuts taken by Massey Energy, resulting in the contamination of the community's drinking water.
Desperate is not just a gripping legal drama; it is a powerful tale of exploitation and resilience. This masterful work of investigative reporting by author Maher sheds light on both the cruelty of exploiting the little guy and the strategies to confront it head-on. The retired coal miners, the families rooted in the coal camps for generations, the respected preacher and his brother—all placed their trust in Thompson when they had nowhere else to turn.
