From its formation in 1944, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM)
was one of the most powerful and important players on the British
political and industrial stage. Whilst the nation relied upon coal
for its electricity production, domestic heating and railway
transportation, the miners and their unions would always play a
central role in national politics with the ability to cause massive
disruption to the nation, should they decide to strike, as they did
in 1972 and 1974. However, as the country began to move towards
other forms of energy, such as oil and gas, the power of the
mineworkers correspondingly decreased, leaving the once mighty
union to come to terms with a very different world by the early
eighties. The NUM and British Politics makes use of union material
and party and government archives as well as oral testimony, much
of it highly confidential, to present the first overall account of
the evolving nature of the tripartite relationship between the
miners, the NUM and the state.
