What is Coal Baron about?

From life he wanted everything he could seize... In the mid-nineteenth century Britain ruled over half the world - and her industries were the wealthiest and most successful on earth. In the North-East coal was king, and there were fortunes to be made by those bold and tough enough to fight for them. Among these the Joicey family had risen in just two generations from humble pitmen working the cramped and dangerous seams of the Longbenton mine, to become the greatest coal-owners in the entire world. This is the story of James Joicey, the man who took them there - a saga of fierce ambition fanned into lasting flame, of triumphs exploited, and disasters overcome. It is the story of the men he befriended and the men he ruined, of the dynasty he founded - and the dynasty he destroyed.
