Written at a time when military threats seemed more distant than they do today, it challenged the Churches to revise the Just War, placing it within the wider context of an ethical foreign policy going way beyond the narrow consideration of national interest. The paper also referred to the role of pacifists in anti-war campaigning, advancing the view that: The Gorgon’s gaze: ‘The pacifist case would contribute more to the arguments set out in this paper [concerning threats to ‘Medusa’ international security] if it is made as rationally as possible, even if this means admitting to skepticism about by Caravaggio its value in occasional circumstances.

  • Writing to Change the World an Interview with John Rees
    Janell Watson Writing to Change the World An Interview with John Rees British writer and activist John Rees cofounded the Stop the War Coalition in 2001. He also cofounded the revolutionary socialist orga- nization Counterfire. He regularly writes for the print and online ven- ues of both organizations, in addition to organizing demonstrations and rallies. Rees studied Marx and Hegel at the University of Hull, where he led a student occupation against the imposition of fees for overseas students. He was elected a member of the National Executive of the National Union of Students in the early 1980s. His academic work at Hull culminated in The Algebra of Revolution: The Dialectic and the Classical Marxist Tradition (Routledge, 1998). Combining writing with politics, he worked as a reporter for the Socialist Worker and served as editor of the party’s quarterly journal, International Socialism, before leaving the party in 2009. Books that directly address leftist political organizing strategy include The ABCs of Socialism ([Bookmarks, 1995] Counterfire, 2014) and Strategy and Tactics: How the Left Can Organise to Transform Society (Counterfire, 2011). His more scholarly and analytical books include Imperialism and Resis- tance (Routledge, 2006) and The Levellers’ Revolution (Verso, 2016). His experiences in Cairo during the so-called Arab Spring resulted in The People Demand: A Short History of the Arab Revolutions, with Joseph Daher (Counterfire, 2011). The television series that he wrote and presented for the Islam Channel [London] was later published as a book, Timelines: A Political History of the Modern World (Routledge, 2012). With Lindsey German, he cowrote A People’s History of London (Verso, 2012), which celebrates the city’s long lineage of revolutionary pamphleteers and agitators.
