About this title

Synopsis

For 150 years, farmworkers fought to rescue them-selves from bleak, soul-destroying poverty. Their victories and their bitterest defeats, from the cruel treatment of the Tolpuddle Martyrs, to the false dawn of the second world war and the nation's realisation that it needed farmworkers, are recounted in Sharpen The Sickle.
