8/8 The result is a sweeping and multi-layered portrait of a pivotal moment in British history, one that continues to resonate today. GB84 is a powerful reminder of the importance of solidarity, justice, and the fight for a better world.

7/8 On the other hand, the chronological narration of events reveals two parallel plots: that of the negotiations of the union leaders and that of Margaret Thatcher's man in the shadow, in charge of coordinating the dirty war against the miners.

6/8 Peace's prose, captures the human struggle for dignity and justice. In David Peace's GB84 two narratives are interspersed: on the one hand, the diaries of two miners give us an insight into the day-to-day struggle, the history of the struggle from below;

5/8 Another important theme is the corrosive effect of power on those who wield it. As the government and the National Coal Board engage in a brutal campaign to break the strike,they become increasingly ruthless and paranoid, sacrificing principles and allies alike in for victory

4/8 One of the key themes of GB84 is the tension between individual agency and collective action. As the strike drags on and tensions rise, characters are forced to confront difficult choices about whether to prioritize their own interests or those of the group.

3/8 The state puts all its dirty war machinery to work. Police infiltrating the picket lines, manipulation of information, the organisation of scabs, police intimidation and even paramilitary violence are all part of the array.

2/8 The novel is written almost journalistic in its tone. The miners mobilised to resist the neoliberal policies that had no other aim than to weaken the workers' movement and dismantle the welfare state built on forty years of struggle and conquests.

1/8 GB84 is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that takes place during the 1984 UK Miners' Strike. Through the eyes of various characters, Peace explores the complexities of politics, power, and class in a society on the darkest times of Thatcher.
