 Jack London's  The Iron Heel - A Visionary Novel
An American young woman of good family, steeped in the prejudices of her social background, falls in love with a socialist leader and discovers, through their union, the sociological realities of capitalism, the intellectual forfeiture of its leaders, and the daily struggle of the working class.
The social and political aspect of what was Fascism is indeed recognized: its mode of terror, the extension of the army, the strapping of organized labor in illegality, and finally the formation of a "working aristocracy" being used as a social tank with the reaction.
The Iron Heel has other qualities: its sharp style is with crossed very beautiful images; certain dialogues, and in particular those of the proponents of capitalism against Ernest, are living exposés, often very amusing, of certain points of Marxist theory.

 The Iron Heel: Foreward
It is quite clear that she intended the Manuscript for immediate publication, as soon as the Iron Heel was overthrown, so that her husband, so recently dead, should receive full credit for all that he had ventured and accomplished.
Then came the frightful crushing of the Second Revolt, and it is probable that in the moment of danger, ere she fled or was captured by the Mercenaries, she hid the Manuscript in the hollow oak at Wake Robin Lodge.
Undoubtedly she was executed by the Mercenaries; and, as is well known, no record of such executions was kept by the Iron Heel.
