Summary note
This book presents a first-hand account of the inner workings of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) in its confrontation with the Tory government during the Miners' Strike of 1984/5 that changed the face of industrial relations in the UK forever. It charts the spirited defence against mine closures and the devastating aftermath, including the privatisation of British Coal, leading inexorably to the demise of the UK coal industry.
