To order a copy of the book:
To mark the anniversary of the end of the 1984-85 miners’ strike we were joined by Mike Simons, a journalist and film maker who covered the strike 40 years ago and has tried to keep the memory of what happened alive in the years since.
Forty years ago Mike helped produce Blood Sweat & Tears, a photo book about the 1984-85 miners’ strike. Ten years ago Ihe helped produce Still the Enemy Within, the award winning film about the 1984-85 strike. He had hoped to reprint Blood Sweat & Tears back in 2014. It didn’t happen. Ten years on, we finally have an expanded edition of what we produced in 1985.
This book features many of the images used in the film Still the Enemy Within and showcases images that have never been seen in public before or that have not been published for 40 years.
