Ian McMurdo's book is a relentless and at times brutally graphic account of a disaster which defined the worst period in the history of New Cumnock. The book charts the minute-by-minute drama as the deadly gas and tension build up in the miners' underground world.\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- Why You'll Love This Ebook --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love This Ebook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA relentless, minute-by-minute account of one of Scotland's most dramatic mining disasters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRooted in real Ayrshire history — the 1950 Knockshinnoch disaster that made world headlines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharts the extraordinary rescue effort that became known as \"the greatest mines rescue ever\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA gripping, at times brutally graphic read that doesn't let go until the final page\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- Reviews --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'I was gripped.

As a glassy-eyed, would-be footballer who readily concedes that his ambitions far outweighed his talents, he eventually found his niche in young adult life as an aspiring Chemistry teacher, before climbing all the way up the greasy pole of management to the heady heights of Director of Education. Now retired, Ian lives with his wife Nan and their two dogs in the village of Kildonan on the southernmost tip of the island of Arran. It is their favourite place on earth. He remains a well-known educational commentator and occasional journalist.\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- Publication Details --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePublication Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carn Publishing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrint Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e (Ebook edition)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN (Ebook):\u003c\/strong\u003e [ISBN TBC]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebook\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- FAQ --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I access my ebook?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDownload \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thegreyhill.com\/pages\/the-grey-hill-app\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Grey Hill App\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and log in using the same email you used at checkout.
