"Allen Loughry's meticulously documented book on the bribe-soaked history of West Virginia is sordid, spellbinding, and mortifying but ultimately uplifting in the author's conviction that real change in West Virginia is practical and possible.

Loughry has written an indispensable and irreplaceable book."--Book Jacket.
