This essential volume is published by Unite the Union to coincide with the centenary of the 1926 General Strike and Miners' Lockout. Britain's workers downed tools in solidarity with miners facing pay cuts, but the strike's leaders capitulated after nine days, leaving the miners to fight on alone for another six months. It's part of working class folklore, but as the essays here show, the reality is more complex. This is not just nostalgia. This is learning from our past to inform the struggles of today and tomorrow. That's why all money raised from the sale of this book goes directly into strike funds supporting industrial action in 2026.
