First sentence: Between 1968 and 1971 the post-nationalisation pattern of NUM politics based on the Cold War divisions of the 1940s broke up as a result of the formation of the Broad Left in 1967, the election of Lawrence Daly as NUM General Secretary in 1968, the unofficial strikes of 1960 and 1970 and the election of Joe Gormley as President in 1971.
