Synopsis
Nine thousand arrests. Two miners killed on the picket lines. The leader of the Kent NUM imprisoned. Trade union leaders pilloried as fascists. Millions of pounds raised in street collections. Communities drawing together to reveal undreamt of strength. Women at the front line of the struggle. A national union's funds sequestered. And a Tory Councillor from North Derbyshire declaring 'I am the NUM'.
Month after month the miners' remarkable strike has been hitting the headlines and making history. There has never been anything like it before.
DIGGING DEEPER draws together a collection of up-to-the-minute and hard-hitting contributions which get beneath the routine 'Scargill vs MacGregor' personalization of the dispute to uncover the real issues at stake: the strategy of the Tories; the role of the police and courts; the resistance of the miners, their families and supporters; the divisions in the TUC and Labour Party; and the future of an industry which has been in the grip of the longest strike this country has ever seen.
Argued with authority and conviction, DIGGING DEEPER is the book of the strike.
