They speak to families in Appalachia whose lives are subject to the whims of coal companies; they meet agricultural laborers who endure brutal working conditions and live below the poverty line. In each region, they seek pockets of optimism and resistance, from union organizers to neighbors who shelter each other, and ultimately end up in Zuccotti Park during the first days of the Occupy movement. Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt is the searing account of Sacco’s and Hedges’s travels.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1568588240\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1568588240.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sacco, Joe|Hedges, Chris\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
