"This book explains the political and legislative background to the present governments policies on welfare benefits. It centres upon the treatment which striking miners have received at the hands of the DHSS and is based upon information received from welfare rights workers throughout the country, together with first hand accounts and interviews with striking miners and their families. The book explains how the Tory government have used benefits politically in an attempt to break the NUM and starve miners and their families back to work."
