But few of them deal with the daily toil of the nameless Nobodies who make up the millions of our industrial population. The poet has sung of the blacksmith in the village, and the painter has portrayed the drudge at the plough. These are artistic backgrounds to distressing industrial realities which have seldom provided a theme for the pen of popular authors. We may sing of the soldier and the sailor, but seldom of the men who toil at the forge, or hammer the plates in the shipyard. The world of romance and sentiment is far removed from the world depicted in this book. It is a book of the real underworld. It does not ask us to weep over the graves of miners sent to their doom in hundreds when we are shocked by some terrible explosion.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book concerns Britain's coal industry and the need for nationalisation, a subject of great public and political debate. Written in the aftermath of a series of strikes and on the cusp of a major political shift, the insights of this book are no less urgent today than in the years immediately following the first world war. The author, not a politician but a prominent figure in the Miners Federation of Great Britain, provides a comprehensive and detailed history of the coal industry, examining the economic, social, and environmental damage caused by the industry's private ownership and proposing a future where the industry's workers and the British public have a greater say in how it is run.
