This book documents the epic struggle waged by the 'minority' at Lea Hall Colliery, Rugeley, Staffs., from the start of the strike in 1984 to the re-election of Margaret Thatcher in 1987. A struggle in which the small 'minority' not only held solid for the twelve months of the strike, but also, by 'campaigning around every issue,' successfully beat off a challenge from the UDM.
