PEACE DE RESISTANCE
SchNEWS ANNUAL 2003
In early July SchNEWS will be releasing its eighth annual. This book covers the period April 2002 - April 2003, and closely follows the build-up of the anti-war movement before and during the war on Iraq. We are calling it an ‘anti-war special’, but it also includes many other stories from the direct action-protest frontline in Britain and abroad. This book is unique in several ways: it will be the first to be published in Britain (and perhaps further) which deals with the enormous global anti-war movement the world has just witnessed, and is produced by people within this movement, giving it a direct insight. And not only does it contain SchNEWS issues 351-401, plus many extra supplementary articles, cartoons, satire, photos, and a yellow pages database, but it also includes a free MULTIMEDIA CD-ROM produced by Beyond TV featuring short videos of many of the stories written about in the book and other resources. Publication Date: 23rd July 2003 BACK COVER
BLURB
"...as the Forces of Darkness
gather for a new attack on Iraq, they’re shaken by an unexpected explosion of
resistance. US airbases are invaded; military convoys are blockaded; schoolkids
stage mass walkouts from Manchester to Melbourne; roads are occupied, embassies
besieged, and cities all over the world are brought to a standstill by the
biggest mass demonstrations ever seen. Read about the efforts to sabotage the
war machine that the corporate media ignored: not just the mass demos, but
Tornado-trashing in Scotland, riots across the Middle East, and train blockades
in Europe. Featuring SchNEWS 351-401, this book also covers many of the past
year’s other stories from the rebel frontlines, including GM crop-trashing,
international activists in Palestine, and the 10th anniversary of Castlemorton.
All that plus loads of new articles, photos, cartoons, subverts, satire, a
comprehensive contacts list, and more…"
