‘Trump’s second term: NATO, War, and the Economy’ – international webinar
Online

Donald Trump has returned to the presidency demanding that NATO nations increase their military spending to 3%, possibly 5% of GDP, and threatening massive tariffs. His commitments to NATO remain uncertain, as does his administration’s approach to the Ukraine War and possible ceasefire-related diplomacy. His “America First” agenda includes a $100 billion increase in the Pentagon’s already gargantuan budget.

What are the implications for Euro-American relations with Russia, for NATO or pressures for an independent European military, for the U.S., European, and world economies? How should U..S. and European peace movements respond?

Book Launch: MINING MEN by Emily Webber
London N1 9DY

Housmans is thrilled to be welcoming Emily P. Webber to the shop to launch her facinating, and often deeply moving story of the last generation of British miners; told through the lives of the men who carved out their identities at the coalface. This is the story of the last generation of British miners: fathers and sons, brothers and comrades, big hitters and broken men, strikers and scabs. Men for whom the masculine world of the pit was all they had ever known, who reluctantly emerged into the daylight for the final time, and others who were happier to consign the dust and darkness to the past.
