This book celebrates the 50th anniversary of UMCB. The book includes an introduction on 1976-84 and the protests and clashes (fierce at times) that led to establishing an independent Welsh union. The period that the union was set up was typical of the language-protest era and the intent, as well as telling the story of UMCB, is to put the developments in their political national context.
