Description
The Iron Heel is an essential work in the canon of Socialist literature. It caused great controversy on its first publication in 1908 and was banned in several parts of America.
Set between 1912 and 1918, the 'Iron Heel' is the fascistic and militaristic oligarchy which, in collusion with subsidised unions, ruthlessly suppresses democracy and free institutions in America, thus driving voices of dissent and opposition underground, from where this powerful story is presented as the manuscript of the Socialist leaders, Avis and Ernest Everhard.
