Overview

Many of New Zealand's leading historians came together in a conference in 2003 to re-explore the 1913 Great Strike, the most violent strike in New Zealand's history. The result is a challenging clash of perspectives: the reader will see this great strike through the eyes of the state, the police, the strikers, the militants, the moderates, the ruling and working classes. Each chapter leaves the reader with plenty to think about, in particular, the shape, nature and history of democracy itself.
