was launched in November 2001 by a group of staff and students at the Sussex University, with the aim of uncovering the origins and implications of the world crisis through which we have been living since 11 September. It is editorially and organisationally independent and non-profit-making. It now appears monthly, costs 70p, and carries original pieces by writers at Sussex and elsewhere, reprinted articles from the foreign press, and transcripts of major speeches, as well as cartoons, satire and news of anti-war events.

Past issues have focused particularly on American foreign policy; the 'new imperialism'; gender and the Afghan war; the legal and economic exploitation of the 'war on terrorism'; and the militarisation of the globe. The current issue focuses on the Israel/Palestine crisis - see the brief summary of its contents below. Articles from past issues are archived at our website www.eclipsereview.org.

So far Eclipse has been sold largely on Sussex campus but this month we are launching it as a national journal. We are offering a complimentary copy (without obligations) of the current issue to anyone who is interested, in the hope that a proportion may like it enough to take out a subscription and so enable us to guarantee the future of the journal - and also so as to make contact with people around the country who may be interested to write for it.

If you would like a complimentary copy, please send your name and address either to me or to the eclipse email address: eclipse@sussex.ac.uk.

Yours
