description: This is the story of the ISTC (the Iron and Steel Trades Confederation), spanning five shifts in the industry's ownership, huge advances in the working conditions of those employed in steel, and the only national steel strike Britain ever experienced. It chronicles the course of industrial progress and the social impact of huge plant closures, and profiles those who led the ISTC from the post-war world to the eve of the millennium.
