The Underground Sea is a succinct, urgent collection of writings from John Berger's archive. It brings together for the first time his work on mineworkers and the miners' strikes and has been edited as a set of actions for today: a time when people are rediscovering the necessity, power, and possibilities of collective action.

Including essays, transcripts, interviews, and images, it places itself in the heart of a Derbyshire mining village, with reflections on the everyday life of a typical pit community.

He died, aged ninety, in January 2017.

Tom Overton is John Berger's biographer. He catalogued the Berger archive at the British Library and edited Portraits: John Berger on Artists and Landscapes: John Berger on Art. He lives in Sheffield.
