"Against the kingdom of Bestia, we, witnesses, will lift us": E.P. Thompson and the Nuclear Disarmament Campaign ; "Contra el reino de la Bestia, nosotros, testigos, nos levantaremos" : E. P. Thompson y la Campaña por el Desarme Nuclear

Abstract

At the end of 1979, Edward Palmer Thompson abandoned his history project to launch a campaign for nuclear disarmament and peace. For years, the Marxist historian was exclusively called upon to organise the European peace movement and to develop and disseminate his doctrines. This article presents some elements of its intellectual history that make it possible to understand the articulation between political practice and historical practice. At the same time, the concept of 'exterminism' is recovered as an organising element in its position in the debate on nuclear disarmament.
