Reviews

Reviews of the original publication: ‘James Cronin has written an important, interesting and original book on British strikes. In seeking an explanation of the peculiarities of British strike activity he rejects many of the conventional arguments of industrial sociologists and industrial relations writers… Instead Cronin adopts an approach which combines a broadly historical materialist framework with a strong emphasis upon the rational and purposive role of strike activity from the subjective standpoint of the working man or woman faced with the anarchic contradictions and pressures of capitalist development.’ Ian Rutledge, Science & Society, Vol. 46, No. 1 (Spring, 1982)
