Opis

Ranging from 1914, when British coal mining was at the height of its achievement, through 1946, when it had become an ominous symbol of 20th-century Britain's inability to adapt to technological and economic change, this fourth volume demonstrates the extent to which the industry's problems were deeply rooted in its social, political, and economic history.

Recenzje

'The analysis is wide-ranging, conducted at appropriate depth, and carried along with a verve that makes for interesting and informative reading ... a work of solid craftmanship ... which may be used with confidence not only by students of coal but by those concerned with business history in general in a twentieth-century context.' Neil K. Buxton, Hatfield Polytechnic, Business History
