In the late nineteenth century, nations the world over were
mired in economic recession and beset by social unrest, their
leaders increasingly threatened by acts of terrorism and
assassination from anarchist extremists.
In this riveting history of that tumultuous period, Alex
Butterworth follows the rise of these revolutionaries from the
failed Paris Commune of 1871 to the 1905 Russian Revolution and
beyond. Through the interwoven stories of several key anarchists
and the secret police who hunted them, Butterworth vividly
describes how a movement born in idealism turned increasingly to
desperate acts of terrorism and murder. Rich in anecdote and with a
fascinating array of supporting characters, The World That Never
Was offers a revelatory portrait of an era with uncanny echoes of
our own.
