Reviews

‘These books are to be recommended for their fresh approach, their clear potential for worker education and discussion and – despite the inevitable ‘forward march’ approach as in all trade union commissioned histories – a willingness to be, from a Unite’s perspective, self-critical and questioning. As Sharon Graham states, ‘if we are to avoid the mistakes of the past it is of course essential that we understand and learn from it’. These volume are designed to assist in that learning process.’ Francis Devine, Irish Labour History Society
