This book, first published in 1978, examines the independent
political action by the thousands of working people in the town of
Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. After a mass rally on the hills above the
town, thousands of workers under a reg flag broke into insurrection
- a detachment of Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders marched into
the town to restore order. The rebels repulsed the soldiers and
held the town, with at least two dozen workers killed. Within weeks
of the Rising, trade unions began to appear in South Wales, and
this book argues that these events were central to the emergence of
a Welsh working class.
