Marching to the Fault Line by Francis Beckett
The 1984 Miners' strike was one of the defining moments in modern British history. This book provides access to key government and union players, and uncovers material that the powerful would have liked to remain secret, including 'dirty tricks' and secret payments, jaw dropping incompetence, back biting, and double dealing.
Francis Beckett is a distinguished journalist who regularly writes for the Guardian and other national papers. He is the author of amongst others Enemy Within: The Rise and Fall of the British Communist Party, biographies of Clement Attlee and Gordon Brown and co-authored The Blairs and their Court with David Hencke. David Hencke has worked on the Guardian as their Westminster correspondent since 1986. He has won numerous awards including 'Scoop of the Year' and 'Journalist of the Year' three times and memorably has scooped Neil Hamilton, Peter Mandelson and John Prescott amongst others. He is described by Andrew Marr as the leading parliamentary journalist of our era.
