'An excellent concise assessment of post-war British industrial relations.' - Dr David Jeffrey, University of Stirling Review of 2nd edition: 'The first edition of Contemporary Industrial Relations was well received, and this second edition deserves an equally positive reception. It recounts often dramatic events in a readable style, the authors are astute in their judgements and comment with a great deal of authority, and it makes an important contribution to policy debate on industrial relations.' - Edmund Heery, Cardiff University
