Describes the policing of the 1984-5 miners' strike in detail
from a range of published, unpublished and eyewitness sources.
Analyses both the events of the strike and the longer-term trends
and problems based on their recognition of the basic issues and
conflicts of civil liberties involved. In their conclusions and
recommendations the authors present an informed view of the use
of the police during the strike, the breakdown of the system of
police accountability, and the policies developed since the
strike.
