Synopsis

Title: The 1984/85 Miners Strike in Nottinghamshire
Author/Publisher: Jonathan Symcox
Publication Year: 1984
Format: Hardcover

This compelling hardback, authored by Jonathan Symcox, offers a focused examination of one of the most defining industrial disputes in modern British history: the 1984/85 Miners' Strike. Published in 1984, it provides an exceptionally immediate and contemporary perspective on the unfolding events, capturing the tensions and complexities as they happened.

Symcox's work is particularly significant for its specific concentration on Nottinghamshire, a coalfield that played a unique and often controversial role during the strike. While much of the national focus centred on the overall conflict between the National Coal Board and the National Union of Mineworkers, Nottinghamshire's miners had a distinct trajectory, which this volume seeks to elucidate.

• A Contemporary Vantage Point: Published in the nascent stages of the strike itself, this book offers readers a rare opportunity to engage with the dispute from a truly contemporaneous perspective, reflecting the prevailing sentiments and analyses as the crisis deepened.
• Nottinghamshire's Unique Position: The volume delves into the particular circumstances and challenges faced by miners in Nottinghamshire, exploring the regional nuances that distinguished its coalfield from others and shaped its response to the national strike call.

For historians, industrial relations specialists, and collectors of modern British social history, this volume stands as a crucial primary source. Its precise regional focus and publication date during the events make it an invaluable record of a pivotal moment in the nation's past.
