THE MINERS IN CRISIS AND IN WAR, A HISTORY OF THE MINER’S FEDERATION OF GREAT BRITAIN (FROM 1930's ONWARDS)

R.Page Arnot

George Allen & Unwin Ltd., 1^st 1961

A 451 page book, 10 chapters with appendices, bibliography and index. Illustrated in black and white. A superb book. This is the history of a noble breed of people, whose skills and talents have been taken for granted for so long in this country. Whole communities have now disappeared and though they could be rough places at times the people could also be very warm and welcoming, possessing special and unique qualities and, at times, a wry sense of humour.

Most of the miners have now gone from this country, together with their welfare clubs and way of life. This book is a brief glimpse at how they lived and worked and formed part of the backbone of industrial Britain.
