This book has acquired a special status as a document in social history. Steel has been Mr. McGeown's life, but it has not been the whole of his life. He describes simply, but vividly what it has meant to work in the steel industry during the twentieth century. In describing both the events of his life and his attitudes to work and life he is imaginative without being sentimental, and he can convey the sense of noise and heat and effort to readers who have never shared his experience.
