The Sunnyside War

By Frederic Marsh Civish Jr.

Join young Dan Cook on his journey of struggle, betrayal, and self-discovery in his fight for justice in a coal mining town in the 1920s.

A fascinating look at the challenges and triumphs of working-class families in the early 20th Century. Of interest to far more than miners or union people, this book? s message is for anybody seeking to understand the power of the American Dream.

Read Twice

I am What you would call a slow reader. I only read this book becuse it was recommended by a friend. After I started reading it I could not put it down, In fact when I was Finished I read it Again !!

Best Fiction

I enjoyed the book enormously. It is the best fiction book I have read in a long time. The description of the mine in the 1920's was the best I have ever read. Having read all of Tony Hillerman's books, I also liked the Indian connection. And the surprise ending was fun. I think it is an excellent book.

Buy This Book

A gripping story that is hard to put down. An historical bonanza. It honors those people who gave up so much that we might enjoy our current lifestyle we take for granted. Basically, the history is about the national coal mine strike in 1922 when 600,000 miners went out on strike and the strike turned bloody. The story is about people who are so lifelike I almost lived the events with them.Hal Virden, Shell Knob Missouri

This is a gripping story that is hard to put down. It is about the heroes of the 1922 coal mine strike when 600,000 miners went out on a strike that turned bloody. An historical bonanza about the people who gave up so much to help create the lifestyle we take for granted today. The fictional characters in the book are so lifelike I felt like I was living the events with them.
