Overview
In this fully updated new edition, the authors lift the lid on blacklisting. They detail the historic court victory for construction workers in the UK and the ongoing Pitchford public inquiry into undercover policing. It links developments in the UK with campaigns across the world-against blacklisting and spycops, and in solidarity with labor activists and whistleblowers. Phil Chamberlain is an experienced investigative journalist who has written for the Guardian, Observer, and the Independent. Dave Smith is a blacklisted union activist from the construction industry, and an award-winning campaigner on human rights, health and safety, anti-fascism, and employment rights issues.

Reviews
'This book will be a wake up call to all who think we live in a democracy where all are equal before the law. These are big questions for the employers and the police, as well as Labour politicians and union leaders.' - Ken Loach, film director. 'The book on blacklisting by Phil Chamberlain and Dave Smith could turn out to be one of the most important of 2015.' - Rob Evans, journalist for The Guardian, and author of Undercover.; 'This remarkable, well-researched and must-read book clearly shows how police spying on political activists has destroyed lives and that I, most unfortunately and regrettably, played a part in this.' - Peter Francis Undercover police officer turned whistleblower.
