In the inter-war years the militancy in the Fife coalfields was symptomatic of the changes Britain was undergoing in a period of social and political unrest. Historian Ian MacDougall presents a detailed case study of the events that occurred within the mining community in Fife.

The bitter lock-outs of the miners; the soup kitchens; the victimisation; the conditions in the pits and the picketing form a backcloth for the miners' struggle. This book uses the recollections and experiences of two militant miners, John McArthur and David Proudfoot, to bring the events in Fife to life.
