Title: The Iron Heel
Description: New York: The MacMillan Company, 1908. First Edition. Hardcover. "Premised upon the rise of a socialist mass movement in the United States – strong enough to have a real chance of winning national elections, getting to power, and implementing a radical socialist regime. Conservatives feel alarmed and threatened by this prospect, to the point of seizing power and establishing a brutal dictatorship in order to avert it. Jack London (1876-1916) was an American novelist, journalist and activist. A pioneer of commercial fiction and American magazines, he was one of the first American authors to become an international celebrity and earn a large fortune from writing. He was also an innovator in the genre that would later become known as science fiction." - Wikipedia. xiv, [2], 354, [4 ads] p. Prior owner's details, dated 1908, upon front free endpaper.
