336pp, sparsely illustrated with maps, charts, images etc. Red cloth covered boards (very slightly rounded on corners and spine tips). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight barring mild mark on front free endpaper. Slightly dusty top edge. In its original dust jacket (lightly rubbed on edges). Focus of this volume is political violence during six of the UK's most turbulent years in modern times - 1971-76, when violent picketing, demonstrations and terrorism reached their highest peak since 1911, with Saltby Coke Depot, Shrewsbury Pickets, IRA bombs and the Right to Work march, and new wave of violent demonstrations occurred in Lewisham and Ladywood, all examined in the context of the then new Industrial Relations Act and the social contract.
