'... methodologically innovative and convincingly written ...'
	Professor Richard Croucher, British Journal of Industrial Relations

'... this magnificent volume does a superb job of bringing closure to the whole event ... The whole book is pleasingly produced and really has the last word on the subject.'
Patrick Renshaw, English Historical Review

An exemplary historiographical review ... There is an elegiac tone of admiration for a lost world or solidarity ... but the historical analysis is hard-headed and the research deep and multi-layered.'
Professor Philip Williamson, American Historical Review

'It is rare to come across a book as truly pioneering as Industrial Politics and the 1926 Mining Lockout ... All the contributions are good and some are groundbreaking ... This book is essential for anyone interested in Britain's 20th-century industrial politics.'
		Professor Keith Laybourn, Times Higher Educational Supplement 

'...the only attempt in modern British labour historiography to tackle the defining industrial dispute of the 1920s ... a long overdue corrective to the institutional trade-union histories on the one hand and the official history of the coal industry on the other. In an era when so much of what passes for historical fashion has turned against labour organisation, material causes and the interrelationship of politics and economics, we can be grateful that the editors and contributors ... have invested their efforts and energies in revisiting and restating the importance of 1926.'
	Professor Chris Williams, Historical Studies in Industrial Relations
