‘Their Wars, Our Dead!’ brings together six anarchist responses to war and militarism. The book makes the case that since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, a war fever has swept the anarchist movement and also a larger section of ‘the left’. The essays collected in the book seek to learn from the past in order to put forward a revolutionary yet realistic course of anarchist anti-militarism today.

Some of the topics included are: internationalist opposition to WW1 and WW2; the mechanics of imperialist politics; conscription (and resistance to it) in Ukraine, Russia and Israel; anti-militarist responses to the war in Ukraine; the complex relationship between anarchism and militarism in Ireland. Discussing the topic will be two of the books contributors, Jason Brannigan and Declan McCormick.

This event is organised by Autonomy Now.
