Stylish, riveting and appalling, GB84 is a shocking fictional
documentation of the violence, sleaze and fraudulence that
characterised Thatcher's Britain. Great Britain. 1984. The miners'
strike. It is the closest Britain has come to civil war in fifty
years, setting the government against the people. In his trademark
visceral prose, Peace describes the insidious workings of the
boardroom negotiations and the increasingly anarchic coalfield
battles; the struggle for influence in government and the dwindling
powers of the NUM; and the corruption, intrigue and dirty tricks
which run through the whole like a fault in a seam of coal. David
Peace has written a novel extraordinary in its reach, and
unflinching in its capacity to recreate the brutality and passion
that changed the course of British history in the late twentieth
century. 'A genuine British original.' Guardian 'Peace is a writer
of such immense talent and power . . . If Northern noir is the
crime fashion of the moment, Peace is its most brilliant designer.'
