Exhilarating... almost any paragraph packs more action than an entire Dan Brown novel Financial Times Intriguing, provocative and written with a novelist's eye for detail, this book is an engrossing journey into a murky, subterranean world. -- Mike Rapport BBC History Magazine Butterworth has created an impressive work which will captivate those unfamiliar with anarchist history and teach even specialists much that they did not know before Independent Compelling and insightful... The World That Never Was is a compelling narrative history both of a generation of demonised and battered - but optimistic - revolutionaries...and of the political police forces ranged against them -- Stuart Christie Guardian This is an amazing book full of incredible people all of whom turn out to be real and unbelievable stories, all of which turn out be true. Against a backdrop of late nineteenth century Europe and America in which staggering industrial progress went hand-in-hand with mass poverty and class struggle, Butterworth brilliantly teases out the paths and plots of the dedicated revolutionaries, deadly dilettantes, spies, informants, agents provocateurs, false counts and femmes fatales who made up the international anarchist movement, and its enemies. A genuine tour de force -- David Aaronovitch
