THUNDER ON THE MOUNTAIN -- A Novel of 1936.
In the depths of the Depression, young wellshooter and semipro boxer W. T. "Kid Nitro" Halvorsen starts a strike in the Pennsylvania oilfields after a refinery disaster exposes the Thunder Oil Company's neglect of workers' safety. As the violence escalates, Halvorsen, CIO organizer and secret Communist Doris Gurley Golden, strikebreaker Pearl Deatherage, and Thunder Oil owner Daniel Thunner battle to decide the fate of Hemlock County -- and whether the bloodshed there will ignite a revolution that will shake all America.
