Summary:
A dystopian novel about the terrible operations of an American oligarchy at the beginning of the Twentieth Century, and the struggles of a socialist revolutionary movement.
The Iron Heel describes a world in which the division between the classes has deepened, creating a powerful Oligarchy that retains control through terror.
A manuscript by rebel Avis Ever-hard is recovered in an even more distant future, and analyzed by scholar Anthony Meredith.
Its vision of the future proved to be eerily prescient of the violence and fascism that marked the initial half of the 20th century.
