The Great Strike: The Miners' Strike of 1984-5 and Its Lessons
This is a timely addition to the Marxists' Internet Archive - an excellent book written by Alex Callinicos and Mike Simons just after the great miners' strike in Britain which began thirty years ago next month. Mike Simons was a journalist on Socialist Worker who covered this mass strike at the time, and is also involved with the making of a new film about the strike, (Still) The Enemy Within - a film which will form the backdrop of a conference in London on 8 March - and will be shown in full for the first time at this years' Marxism festival in July.
