My City Was Gone

"The cautionary tale of how a hardworking small town was destroyed by the very forces that created it. Anniston, Alabama, was once a thriving industrial hub, home to a Monsanto chemical plant as well as a federal depot for chemical weapons. Now its notoriety comes from its exceptionally high cancer rate--some 25 percent above the state norm--and the town's determined citizens, who joined together and struck back at the corporation that employed them--and poisoned them"--Jacket.
