His research into the astonishing coalfield militancy of 1919 reveals it was a watershed year on a par with 1926. Indeed the General Strike was in many ways merely its dim echo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhilst historians have skated over the labour unrest of 1919, Martyn Ives uncovers a remarkable incidence of unofficial mass strikes in the coalfields, waged against mine-owners, government and trade union leaders alike. Led by revolutionaries, and infused with political radicalism, this mass movement offered a glimpse of an alternative road to socialism, based upon the organised industrial power of the working class.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Martyn Ives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48271345811707,"sku":"9789004297012","price":211.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_0eea7024-690b-4ae0-b61e-b10b78f8efa5.jpg?v=1778023235","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/reform-revolution-and-direct-action-amongst-british-miners-9789004297012","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
