Description

The history of the last generation of British coal miners: fathers and sons, brothers and comrades, major players and broken men, strikers and collaborators. 'An exhilarating, unbroken narrative... full of stories of tragedy, deadpan humor, and solidarity', The Times.

What happened to Britain's last generation of coal miners? Combining new personal interviews with extensive archival research, Emily P. Webber sheds light on the fascinating story of an industry once considered the backbone of Britain.

By placing the 1984–85 miners’ strike within a larger history of the coalfields, we can understand why miners and their families fought so fiercely against the closure of the pits, and what happened after their shutdown. Lively, compelling, and rich in details, Mining Men explores what the mining industry meant for its workers and their communities, as well as what Britain lost when it left.

'Fascinating... An engaging story of post-war British mining', Daily Telegraph.

'Absorbing and pleasant... a illuminating look into the lives of those who risked everything to heat our homes', The Herald.
