Robert Gildea presents a comprehensive oral history of the 1984–1985 miners' strike in Britain, drawing upon over 140 interviews with former miners and their families. By centering the personal narratives of those who lived through the industrial conflict, the book explores the profound socio-economic shifts and the enduring legacy of the labor movement within British coal-mining communities.
