biography of the miner's leader

Like Crick's other books this one is also highly readable and well-informed on the subject on hand. While it may appear somewhat dated as it was written in 1985 it will be of interest for those who study or who have studied this period in British political and industrial relations policy. Arguably Scargill was at his zenith when the book was written but Crick painted a picture of a man who also had obvious flaws all of which contributed to his nadir in the next few weeks following the book's publication.
