The History of the British Coal Industry: Volume 4: 1913-1946: The Political Economy of Decline

Ranging from 1914, when British coal mining was at the height of its achievement, through 1946, when it had become an ominous symbol of 20th-century Britain's inability to adapt to technological and economic change, this fourth volume demonstrates the extent to which the industry's problems were deeply rooted in its social, political, and economic history.
