A Workers' History of the Great Strike, (Hardcover)

<p><b>"A Workers' History of the Great Strike"</b> offers a compelling and contemporary account of the 1926 General Strike in Great Britain, written from the distinct perspective of the labor movement. Authored by prominent socialist intellectuals Raymond Postgate and J.F. Horrabin, this work documents the seismic shifts in British industrial relations and the unprecedented mobilization of the working class during nine days that shook the nation.</p><p>The book provides a detailed analysis of the events leading up to the strike, the organizational efforts of the Trades Union Congress, and the day-to-day realities of the workers on the front lines. Rather than focusing on parliamentary debates, the narrative emphasizes the solidarity, challenges, and strategic maneuvers of the strikers themselves. By examining the social and economic grievances that fueled the conflict, the authors offer a profound look at class dynamics and the power of organized labor in the early 20th century. <b>"A Workers' History of the Great Strike"</b> remains an invaluable historical document for readers interested in British political history, social justice, and the evolution of trade unionism.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
