Résumé
A fresh, accessible history of the 1926 General Strike on its centenary - telling a story of working-class community then and now. The Future in Our Past tells the remarkable story of Britain's only ever General Strike on its centenary. It is an on-the-ground account of how workers brought the country to a standstill for nine extraordinary days. Callum Cant and Matthew Lee take us on a journey through a Britain living on its nerves, from the London docklands to the South Wales coalfields and the railways and warehouses of middle England.

Churchill feared that labour militancy presaged a Bolshevik-style revolution. But for socialists, dreams of a brighter future would have to wait.
Cant and Matthew Lee ask why this monumental standoff ended in defeat for the unions despite their huge mobilisation. They set out why the General Strike still matters and the lessons it has f
