More about the book
Focusing on the harsh realities faced by mining communities in the Dearne Valley, the book details the exploitation of workers, including men, women, and children, by powerful mine owners and oppressive governments. It chronicles the rise of unions and the Labour Party, the tragic losses of World War I and II, and the significant miners' strikes, particularly between Margaret Thatcher and Arthur Scargill. Through personal stories, it reveals the struggles and resilience of these communities, shedding light on a neglected chapter of British history.
