This book is one of the most impressive examples of historical research I’ve came across, and it is written in the way that makes it difficult to put it down. And you don’t even need to be an anarchist to really enjoy reading it!

"The ‘heady brew of ideas’ and complex interrelationships of organisations are forensically unravelled to provide an account that has all the clarity of style and story-telling ability of E. P. Thompson’s classic Making of the English Working Class." Alan Brooke, The Local Historian.
