Beverley Trounce, who worked in a pit village and whose father was a miner, has interviewed a number of the people directly affected by the strike. Her research covers the pickets, the collieries, the matter of simple survival through the extreme and grinding poverty of the time, the effects on the women and children involved and the wider community, as well as the aftermath and what its legacy means to people today.

Reviews
"This book is full of memories. Dip inside and you'll find compelling recollections on every page. It isn't solely about first-person memoir - Trounce knits the narrative together neatly, not skimping on facts but never dawdling over a surfeit of detail - it's the oral history that lends the book its narrative weight. From the response to a Kent miner who asked his arresting officer why he was being picked up - "don't worry, I'll think of something" - to the numerous heartbreaking tales of desperation and disbelief at the bitterness of the battles, it's a story that retains its living spirit while also serving as a relic of the past." -- Northern Soul

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
