The World That Never Was: A True Story of Dreamers, Schemers, Anarchists and Secret Agents by Alex Butterworth (384pp, Bodley Head, £25)
Stuart Christie learns that secret police tactics have changed little in a century
The Guardian, Review, Saturday, 27 March 2010, p.9
Quote:The Walsall plot was part of a Europe-wide strategy to discredit anarchists and Russian dissidents. David Nichol, one of the foremost defenders of the Walsall anarchists, recorded the human cost of such tactics with great pathos: "Romance and novelty there are," he wrote of the anarchists' life, "though sometimes the delightful vision comes to an abrupt termination, changing suddenly, like a lovely face into an opium vision of something horrible and devilish."
Stuart Christie is the editor of The Chronicles of Farquhar McHarg: Pistoleros! 1:1918 (ChristieBooks).
A quick plug for a book which demonstrates how false-flag ops know no borders; and how the war against Irish nationalism was dovetailed by the British securicrats of the late nineteenth century with their broader foreign policy objectives - not least in & against Russia.
