About this ebook
Arthur James Cook was the secretary of The National Union of Miners, and this is his account of the nine-day strike by the miners during the General Strike of 1926 in Great Britain. His account tells a now depressingly familiar story of Parliamentary parties of all shades not genuinely supporting the miners' cause, nor the cause of any other low-paid workers.
