Crime Against Humanity: Government Corruption Floods Appalachia is a searing investigation into one of the most overlooked environmental disasters of our time. This book peels back the layers of corruption, greed, and political maneuvering that led to the catastrophic flooding of Appalachia-a region already battered by economic hardship. The story it tells is not just about water breaching dams and homes swept away, but about a system that failed its people, all for the sake of profit.
Through vivid storytelling and meticulously researched facts, Crime Against Humanity reveals the shocking truth behind how government negligence, backroom deals, and corporate kickbacks allowed disaster to strike. Powerful lobbyists, compromised officials, and distracted media played a role in silencing the cries for help from the Appalachian community, leaving thousands to suffer from the consequences of rising waters, toxic pollutants, and forgotten promises.
But this book is not just words on a page-it comes to life through compelling illustrations that provide a powerful visual narrative. These images will take you inside the devastated towns, showing you firsthand the crumbling infrastructure, the faces of the victims, and the overwhelming destruction. You will see the cracks in the dams that were ignored, the toxic runoff from lithium mines polluting the rivers, and the community's desperate fight for justice. Each illustration acts as a stark reminder of the human cost of corruption.
Crime Against Humanity doesn't just tell you what happened-it shows you, through investigative depth and captivating art, the betrayal of a community left to drown while those in power looked the other way. This is a story of corruption exposed, a call for accountability, and a demand for justice for those who were silenced.
