This is the third and concluding volume of a massive survey of British trade untions...It is impossible to summarize such a book, but one can indicate the scope and detail of its conception...Suffice it to say that the coverage is complete...an authoritative account of British trade untionism during a critical period. Students and scholars will mine it as a resource.
