Strike

First published in 1973, Strike covers nearly 150 strikes in twenty major industries from the time of Victoria's Golden Jubilee to the first year of Heath's government. It does so by going to the source-the strikers themselves, a section of the public much written about but whose views are rarely published in detail.
