Only the Peoples Can Stop the Wars:
A Program for Struggle Against U.S. Imperialism’s “War on Terrorism”

In this book, Michael Thorburn, a leader of the Workers Party, U.S.A., offers an in-depth analysis of the concrete features and roots of the so-called “war on terrorism.” The author focuses the reader’s attention on the vital question of how to advance the anti-war struggle.

The first chapter looks at the continuing U.S. wars and occupation in Afghanistan and Iraq and places these in the context of U.S. imperialism’s strategy to establish itself as the sole superpower based on the doctrine that Might Makes Right.

Chapter Two reports on the growing anti-war actions and initiatives of the American people. It zeros in on the issue of building up a proactive peace movement. The author puts forward the program for a genuinely democratic foreign policy and elaborates the strategy and tactics of anti-imperialist politics.

The final chapter looks into other important fronts of the U.S. government’s war program — in Palestine, Korea, Colombia, the Philippines and elsewhere.

All the articles and speeches collected in this book were written as part of the day-to-day work of mobilizing people against war and militarism. For this reason, the book is imbued with the spirit of struggle. It is indeed a call to all of us to get organized in the struggle against war and imperialism.
