Nicholas Jones draws on his experience as a BBC reporter covering the year-long strike to select a range of newspaper cartoons from his enormous strike archive.
The result is a distinctive, revelatory book.
We learn about the strike as he discusses cartoonists' visions of heroes and villains, police brutality and working class solidarity in the showdown between hard-line conservatism and ordinary workers.
