Many people wanted to forget the painful experiences they had during the infamous 1984/85 miners' strike as the years passed. However, people are now ready to look back and discuss what happened in Britain during this pivotal period of industrial action. In this new and revised edition, Beverley Trounce, who worked in a pit village and whose father was a miner, provides a candid account of this heroic struggle through the voices of those directly affected by the strike. Her research and contributions from ex-striking miners and activists cover the pickets, 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.
From a Rock to a Hard Place is a powerful and moving record of a divisive moment in history.
