THE
ENEMY WITHIN
by Seumas
Milne
Margaret
Thatcher branded Arthur Scargill and the other leaders of the 1982-5
miners' strike `the enemy within`. With the publication of this
bestselling book a decade later, the full irony of that accusation
became clear. There was an enemy within. But it was not the National
Union of Mineworkers that was out to subvert liberty. It was the
secret services of the British state - operating inside the NUM
itself.
Seumas Milne revealed for the first time the astonishing lengths to
which the government and it's intelligence machine were prepared to
go to destroy the power of Britain's miners' union. Using phoney
bank deposits, staged cash drops, forged documents, agents
provocateurs and unrelenting surveillance, MI5 and police Special
Branch set out to discredit Scargill and other miners' leader.
Planted tales of corruption were seized on by the media and both
Tory and Labour politicians in what became an unprecedented savage
smear campaign.
'The most important expose of contemporary political Britain I have
read'. 'Journalism owes Seumas Milne a debt for elevating the craft
of fine reporting... above vicious untruth.'
John Pilger, New Statesman
