This booklet is a follow on from Against War and Terrorism Issue 1 which was published as a PDF booklet in October 2001. In this second issue (March 2002) we go into greater depth over a range of issues. We consider a better understanding of these issues to be essential in building a global anarchist movement.

As with the previous issue these articles represent the views of the individual authors alone who are currently living in Europe, the USA and the 'Middle East'.

The articles to be found in Issue 1 can be read or downloaded from  http://struggle.ws/issues/war/pamOCT01.html
