I've just finished reading the auto-biography of Frank Henderson, a
British Trotskyist who worked mostly in the car industry in the West
Midlands of the UK, in the aftermath of World War II until the 1980s. As
well as serving in Greece and Palestine after the war, he was active in
some major workplace based struggles in the 1960s, particularly around
the Longbridge plant. His book, "Life on the Track, memoirs of a
socialist worker" is absolutely brilliant, particularly the chapters
when he talks about things like the lynchmob atmosphere in the aftermath
of IRA bombings in Birmingham. I've reviewed it on my blog,

But I recomment it to anyone whose got a fascination with working class
activism and history.
