Them and us

The period between 1910 and 1939 was one of the most explosive in British working class history. As all the main political parties chorus their commitment to continuing cuts and the Tories try to take us back to the Thirties, Them and Us is a timely reminder of how workers responded to a previous ruling class offensive. Using up-to-date research, John Newsinger draws on the words and actions of activists to bring to life key episodes of working class revolt. Them and Us underscores the need for rank and file organization and the importance of solidarity for a new generation.
