This issue, no. 290, has several articles about/against the war on Iraq: Andrea Papi on war as TV spectacle; Antonio Cardella on a fire that has been started that cannot be put out; Francesco Codello on why it is better to be a pacifist “utopian” and “dreamer” than a slave of power; and Carlo Oliva on the “French/Freedom fries” of contention. Also on the theme of the war, a dossier by Adriano Paolella and Zelinda Carloni, on the nature and business of war.

Also in this issue, David Goodway interviews Colin Ward. And two essays, by Franco Schirone and Felice Accame, on the life and work of Puglian revolutionary Carlo Cafiero.
