.. . to assemble a collection such as this one more than thirty years after the strike ended is itself a remarkable feat, as is the artful combination of personal narrative with scholarly contextualization. --Labour History Review This is an especially timely book written by former miners and radical academic research activists the majority of whom were participants during the 1984-85 miners' strike in Britain. It is particularly welcome today as calls intensify for a public enquiry into the policing of picketing at Orgreave. Not only is it a marvellous account of the bravery of the men and women and their allies during one of the longest industrial strikes in British history, it is also testimony to the resilience of mining communities in the face of state repression. --Professor Paul Stewart, University of Strathclyde
