Summary:

This volume of essays by experts in history, industrial relations, sociology, and political science reexamines the evidence of the 10-month national mining lockout of 1926--a key moment in British social history that colored the national miners' strikes of the 1970s and 1980s. Regional perspectives are explored, as well as specific themes such as gender and community, policing and public order, and the communist party and the church.
