Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation, established in 1963, continues the work of the philosopher and activist Bertrand Russell in the areas of peace, social justice, and human rights, with a specific focus on the dangers of nuclear war. Ken Coates was its director. Ralph Schoenman was its general secretary until 1969.

Spokesman Books is the publishing imprint of the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation[1] and publishes books on politics, peace and disarmament, and history. The Spokesman is the journal of the BRPF, which reached its 100th issue in August 2008.
