Ken Weller 1935-2021

A previous post on this blog celebrated Ken Weller's 80th birthday and the influence he had on us. So we were greatly saddened to hear of his death recently, but also amused by this absurd press cutting posted on Twitter by Chris Spannos:

A more sensitive obituary has been posted by Nick Heath (a former RaHN speaker) at the Anarchist Communist Group's site.

An archive of Ken's writing, including his essential Don't be a Soldier! The Radical Anti-war Movement in North London, 1914-18 is available at Libcom.

Kate Sharpley Library were inspired by Ken's passing to post some thoughts on Don't be a Soldier.

A Ken Weller reader is apparently being published in due course by PM Press.
