What are some recommended works of Betrand Russell on politics? If any. I know he is very antiwar and I was wondering what are some good works where he dicusses this and other political matters.

Altough I prefer Sir BR in Philosophy and ethic, you can look :
Russell, B. (1917). Why men fight: a method of abolishing the international duel . New York: The Century Co. [c1916].
--- (1949). Authority and the Individual New York: Simon and Schuster.
--- (). Road to Freedom: Socialism anarchism, and syndicalism, London; George Allen & Unwin
Hope this helps

Is it good (ie worth the money)? I did a quick search on the net and it's been out of print since 1930 and the starting price is 50 dollars.
Nonetheless thanks for your help, it sounds very interesting and is what I was looking for.

'The Fate of Thomas Paine' ("these are the times that try men's souls"), an essay written in 1934 can be found in an excellent collection titled 'Why I Am Not a Christian', 1957 Simon and Shuster. Just a few bucks but worth it.
