In 1994 the author revealed, for the first time, the astonishing lengths to which the Conservative government and its secret services were prepared to go to destroy the power of Britain`s miners` union. This edition has been updated for the 20th anniversary of the Miners` Strike. This photographic journey of the African-American struggle for equality begins in the mid-1800s and continues to the present. There is Harriet Tubman, who escaped slavery in 1849 and went on to help others to freedom, and once slavery was officially outlawed, it traces the evolution of its dual legacy — segregation and racism.
