Any moments spent with Ed Horgan leave one wiser and more inspired. Imagine spending four 1-hour small-group sessions with him discussing a signed copy of his book that he mails you.
Ed
Horgan is a Member of the Board of Directors of World BEYOND War based in Ireland. He retired from the Irish so-called Defence Forces
with the rank of Commandant after 22 years that included
peacekeeping missions with the United Nations in Cyprus and the Middle
East. He has worked on over 20 election monitoring missions in Eastern
Europe, the Balkans, Asia, and Africa. He is international secretary
with the Irish Peace and Neutrality Alliance, Chairperson and founder of
Veterans For Peace Ireland, and a peace activist with Shannonwatch.
Ed Horgan's many peace activities have included the case of Horgan v Ireland,
in which he took the Irish Government to the High Court over breaches
of Irish Neutrality and U.S. military use of Shannon Airport, and a high
profile court case resulting from his attempt to arrest U.S. President
George W. Bush in Ireland in 2004. He teaches politics and international
relations part-time at the University of Limerick. He completed a PhD
thesis on reform of the United Nations in 2008 and has a master’s degree
in peace studies and a B.A. degree in History, Politics, and Social
Studies. He is actively involved in a campaign to commemorate and name
as many as possible of the up to one million children who have died as a
result of wars in the Middle East since the first Gulf War in 1991.
Ed's book is a compilation of his brilliant published letters and articles focused
on human rights, war, and peace. The letters combine extensive academic
research with decades of practical
experience in Bosnia,
Croatia, Nigeria, Indonesia, East Timor, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia,
Tunisia, Libya, Congo, Armenia, Pakistan, Nepal, Turkey, Ukraine, and
Russia.
This is a master course in understanding war and peace, and in
doing peace advocacy, and in how to craft and publish letters to the
editor that will see the light of day and enlighten those who read.
