Summary: "Margaret Thatcher branded the leaders of the 1984-85 miners' strike ""the enemy within."" With the publication of this book, the full irony of that accusation became clear. Seumas Milne revealed for the first time the astonishing lengths to which the government and its intelligence machin e were prepared to go to destroy the power of the Britains' miners' union. There was an enemy within. It was the secret services of the British state, operating inside the NUM itself. In this edition, published for the twentieth anniversary of the strike, new material brings the story up to date."
