The Iron Heel: A Visionary Tale of Tyranny, Revolution, and the Rise of Fascism

Long before Orwell's 1984, there was The Iron Heel.

In this haunting dystopian novel, Jack London imagines a grim future where an oppressive oligarchy—The Iron Heel—crushes democracy and wages war against the working class. Through the voice of Avis Everhard, we follow the rise of her revolutionary husband and the brutal struggle to resist a system built on surveillance, manipulation, and brute force.

Written in 1908, The Iron Heel is startlingly prophetic. It explores themes of political resistance, social inequality, and state control—anticipating real-world events like fascism, corporatocracy, and revolutionary movements. This edition includes historical notes and analysis to help modern readers fully appreciate London's radical vision.

"Terrifyingly relevant… a precursor to Orwell and Huxley." — The Atlantic "A revolutionary work of political fiction that still stings today." — The New Statesman
