Aberdeen in the general strike

Published in 1977 by Aberdeen People's Press, this book gives a local account of the British general strike of 1926 and how it played out in Aberdeen, Scotland. Interestingly the text is critical of the TUC and Labour party whereas most accounts outwith libertarian circles are not.
