In the past 15 years, UK anti-militarist activists have auctioned off a tank outside an arms fair, superglued themselves to Lockheed Martin’s central London offices and stopped a battleship with a canoe. They have also challenged militarism in many other everyday ways. This book explores why anti-militarists resist, considers the politics of different tactics and examines the tensions and debates within the movement. As it explores the multifaceted, imaginative and highly subversive world of anti-militarism, the book also makes two overarching arguments. First, that anti-militarists can help us to understand militarism in new and useful ways. And secondly, that the methods and ideas used by anti-militarists can be a potent force for radical political change.

Chris Rossdale has dug deeply into the internal debates and decisions that precede specific direct actions - die-ins, demonstrations, trials, peace camps - that activists have launched to expose and challenge diverse forms of contemporary militarism. "Resisting Militarism" will be salient and engaging for anyone trying to tease apart the myriad strands of militarism and the careful political analyses it takes to shine a bright light on each strand.
