A dramatic and unmissable new novel from one of Granta's Best Young British Novelists 2003.
In 'GB84' David Peace turns his talents to the most wrenching and socially devastating struggle of the past half-century in Britain: the 1984 miner's strike, which set the government against the people. In his signature clipped prose and through a kaleidoscopic whirl of characters and perspectives, Peace describes the boardroom and coalfield battles; the struggle for influence in government and the dwindling powers of the union; and the corruption, intrigue and dirty tricks which run through the whole like a fault in a seam of coal.
