McCabe (Sarah) & Wallington (Peter) with Alderson/Gostin/Mason THE POLICE, PUBLIC ORDER, & CIVIL LIBERTIES Legacies of The Miners' Strike. £15.00
Routledge. 1988. (1st UK edn.) h/back ISBN 0415007240
Hardback, 1st UK dn. What role should the police have in an industrial dispute? How were they led into a partisan role in assisting the defeat of the 1984-5 miners' strike? Widespread concern over police road-blocks, allegations of police and picket violence, and the huge numbers of police used to maintain order and access to work led the National Council for Civil Liberties to set up an inquiry into the policing. The Inquiry Panel produced an interim report - but the NCCL disowned it, because of its acknowledgement of the rights of working miners as well as striking ones. The members of the Panel - who included former Chief Constable John Alderson and NCCL General Secretary Larry Gostin - then resigned, but continued work as a group of private individuals. This book is their final report. With Appendices, References and Selected Bibliog. + Index. 209pp. 8vo. With small embossed stamp and insc. on fep o/w F. in sl. sunned dw.

The book is by Sarah McCabe and Peter Wellington and was Published by Routledge in 1988. Its ISBN number is 0415007240
It is available on Amazon Marketplace for a whopping £80.53!
( http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ISBN=0415007240 )
Or if you buy it from american amazon then it is only $58 which is only £28ish so even when you add shipping it will be much cheaper if you can wait a few weeks for it.
Hope that helps

Well, you can get it at ABEBooks.com but it's pretty expensive for a used book. Does your library have it perhaps?

Try Amazon. They might have a brief summary and prices and stuff. Or if you live in England, check the website of your local library.

This will tell you all you need to get a copy.
Or if you use ebay, put a request for it there if you can't find it listed there.
