Based on a first-hand account of a worker involved in campaigning
for better rights and conditions for himself and his co-workers,
this book reveals how one individual working in the mining industry
in the UK in the second half of the 20th century managed to effect
real change. His words and actions are truly inspirational and
serve as a timely reminder of how far we've come, as well as how
influential one person can really be - whatever his current
economic or political standing. Peppered with primary source
documents, photographs and contributions from members of the
original author's family, the book makes interesting reading for
anyone who cares about justice, equality and dignity. Most
importantly, it puts our current economic and political challenges
in perspective... Do we really have so much to complain about?
Dangerously, or fortunately perhaps (since it's clear we all stand
to benefit), this book is likely to spur any would-be campaigner to
take up arms and fight.
