Is a General Strike possible today? | Callum Cant and Matthew Lee

💾

The Future in Our Past tells the story of the 1926 General Strike on its centenary. In the book, Callum Cant and Matthew Lee take us on a journey through a Britain living on its nerves, from the London docklands to the South Wales coalfields and the railways and warehouses of middle England.
100 years later, they visited the communities where the struggle burned brightest, uncovering the lessons the General Strike holds for labour movements today.
