ANGELS OVER LUSATIA, a climate-change novel,
by DAVID SHIRREFF

In the second part of
 Angels over Lusatia
 Gromm’s son continues
his father’s campaign
to stop a vile industry
whose activities, even today,
make a mockery of
Germany’s green credentials.

When a centuries-old east German village faces obliteration by open-cast lignite mining - one of the world's dirtiest industries - a lone Englishman appears, promising salvation.
  Angels Over Lusatia tells the remarkable story of Michael Gromm, who joined the people of Horno in a decade-long struggle to save their homes and surrounding countryside. It meant not just fighting the mining company, local politicians, the Federal Chancellor of Germany and even the Swedish state - but changing the mindset of the people whose way of life was threatened.
  As the world finally gets to grips with climate change, Angels Over Lusatia celebrates a latter-day samurai who risked everything to save a forgotten part of the planet.
