This is a remarkable account of the unemployed movement in North
East England in the two decades between the wars. It covers, in an
exceptionally clear and readable fashion, multiple aspects of the
struggle against unemployment and against the hostile and
inquisitorial attitudes routinely displayed towards the unemployed
and their families by the relief authorities. The National
Unemployed Workers' Movement in this part of Britain fought not
only unsympathetic authority but also hostile police forces - and
the fascists when they tried to put in an appearance. The account
is solidly researched throughout, using oral history and
contemporary documentation from a variety of sources. Don Watson
deals thoroughly with the NUWM in the North East and compares it to
other unemployed activities and organisations in the area at that
time. The book is an original and valuable addition to the social
history of the area and to the study of the inter-war unemployed
movement in Britain as a whole. Professor Willie Thompson,
University of Sunderland
