It is the issue of whether the women shall have equality of expression and of strike participation with the men. And it is along this line of contention that 's tautly muscled script develops considerable personal drama, raw emotion and power.

According to Chomsky: "[T]he real work is being done by people who are Salt of the Earth 1st edition known, that's always been true in every popular movement in history I don't know how you get that across in a film. Actually, come to think of it, there are some films that have done it. I mean, I don't see a lot of visual stuff, so I'm not the best commentator, but I thought Salt of the Earth really did it. It was a long time ago, but at the time I thought that it was one of the really great movies—and of course it was killed, I think it was almost never shown.

Olsen's books always stood out to me because of their usual focus on the families of the victims instead of the perpetrators and this book is no different. The Salt Salt of the Earth 1st edition the Ea 4. The Salt of the Earth in this case refers to the Elaine Gere, mother of Brenda, a missing 12 year old girl. There was nothing this woman could not do. A mother of 3, wife of an alcoholic, and then mother of a missing girl, later found murdered-she's an amazing person. The effects this abduction had on the Gere family cannot be underestimated, but I won't get into more of that here, as it should be related to Salt of the Earth 1st edition by the author and narrator. Even to this day, there isn't much information available about the guy on the internet. Maybe it's just something in me that thinks if we knew more about how this guy grew up and went wrong, perhaps we could learn to recognize these signs and prevent such things in the future. I could just be naive about that, I admit the possibility. I think the narrator, Mr. Pierce, did an excellent job. I often wondered if the narrator ever choked up and had to do a retake. If you're a fan of sympathetic but honest true crime stories, you could do so much worse than Salt of the Earth. This terrible crime was presented Salt of the Earth 1st edition all its horrific effects on the immediate and extended family, and the entire community. It's an unflinching look at a horrible crime and how it branches out in every Salt of the Earth 1st edition. But it's also a look at a strong, strong woman and family and how they came through such a tragedy. Highly recommended for fans of true crime. This is it. View all 7 comments. Sep 05, Jim Thomsen rated it it was amazing. The late Jack Olsen had a long career of sustained excellence, but it was not until he was well into his eight and final decade that he emerged with his masterpiece in "Salt Of The Earth" — a rich character study and profound exploration of loss wrapped up seamlessly in a first-rate crime story rendered in exquisite and tender prose. It is a daring achievement, a deeply personal odyssey, that cuts not just across but over the top of the grain of the true-crime genre. One suspects that Olsen used The late Jack Olsen had a long career of sustained excellence, but it was not until he was well into his eight and final decade that he emerged with his masterpiece in "Salt Of The Earth" — a rich character study and profound exploration of loss wrapped up seamlessly in a first-rate crime story rendered in exquisite and tender prose. One suspects that Olsen used every ounce of his considerable clout to persuade his publisher to take on a book that in no way fit the genre's format; the murder didn't even take place until some pages in, and everything leading up to that contained no hint of serious crime. That's because Olsen manages something as amazing as it is rare — he manages to make the perfectly ordinary story of how Elaine and Joe Gere met and formed and raised their family into rich Americana, an engrossing Salt of the Earth 1st edition of Everyman and Everywoman Salt of the Earth 1st edition Everyfamily and their struggles and their fierce love. That such Salt of the Earth 1st edition could be destroyed in an instant by a chance encounter is like the rarest coin flip of the American Dream — some win it, some don't, and a very few see the coin land on its edge and wobble there before falling off the table. It doesn't happen, except when once in a rare while it does. And when it does, it is too much to take for all but the most indomitable of spirits. And, as it turns out, one half of the Gere couple is made of the toughest stuff Olsen's decision to focus on the survivor as she struggles through months of searching, months of judicial proceedings, a resolution that brings empty closure at best And, absolutely the correct one. Because he chose absolutely the right subject, one who absolutely saw the value in sharing her pain — and perseverance — with the world. There's not a Salt of the Earth 1st edition of space given to the mechanics of the crime or the character of the criminal, a monochromatic figure whose malignancy and motives to this day remain a bit shadowy. I can well imagine the publisher's frustration in trying to decide how to market it: Literary narrative non-fiction? But it's not a memoir! And, as you might guess, it was not one of Olsen's biggest sellers. It is, though, Olsen's biggest-hearted book. Despite a gruff exterior and a taste for terse, even tough prose, Olsen spent decades using his natural empathy to draw out the deepest secrets of killers, victims and those caught uncomfortably and emotionally between the two. You can't get that out of people — especially a tough cookie like Elaine Gere — unless you really, really care. And Jack Olsen cared. It's a quality we don't much see in nonfiction crime writing these days, and the world is poorer for it. But it's also richer for Olsen's prolific backlist, which the world needs to explore. Elaine Gere's story, and Jack Olsen's storytelling, is timeless beyond dispute. View 1 comment. Jul 30, Rachel rated it it was amazing. My favorite Olsen book. It's almost shameful to call this "true crime," because that genre has been cheapened by too many so-called authors. It's a portrait of the struggles, including a horrific crime, of one famliy in the modern American West. Shelves: 0-owned5-ratedstars1-rec-by- friend4-format-audio7-nonfiction1-rec-for-audio8-audio-audible. A very well-written true crime, but the story itself just wasn't very compelling. The child and her murder seemed almost secondary. This felt, to me, more the story of weak, manipulative, controlling men and the women who enabled them. The author does a remarkable job of creating a sense of setting and character, though. Audiobook via Audible. Very good narration by Kevin Pierce.
