The Secret of the League by Ernest Bramah
The Secret of the League is a 1907 dystopian novel by Ernest Bramah, which describes the overthrow of a democratically elected British Labour Party Government through a carefully prepared plot by members of the upper classes, and depicts such an overthrow as being a positive and desirable outcome.
George Orwell credited the book with having given a considerably accurate prediction of the rise of Fascism, and also with reflecting the mentality of the middle classes and the brutal measures which members of these classes might condone or actively support, should they feel threatened with a revolution -even such a decent and kindly writer as Ernest Bramah, in Orwell's words.
