„The secret of the league” is a dystopian novel written by Ernest Bramah in 1907. It was first published as „What might have been: the story of a social war”, but later was republished in 1909 as „The secret of the league. „The Secret of the League” is kind of an underground oddity of a novel. It’s a prophetic-warning novel, science fiction before that term was coined, largely sociopolitical but also with some charming technical extrapolations. The story centers around one man’s daring and ingenious plan, enacted through a mysterious alliance called the Unity League, to stop the workings of the nation’s elected government in order to restore some measure of lost freedom and greatness, even at the risk of civil war. Its plot is developed rather patchily, and like most warning novels, was overtaken by real events and didn’t come true. „The Secret of the League” was written, when the growth of the labour movement was beginning to terrify the middle class, who wrongly imagined that they were menaced from below rather than from above.
Ernest Brammah Smith wrote under the name Ernest Bramah from March 20, 1868, until June 27, 1942. He was an English poet. He wrote 21 books and a lot of short stories and articles. Many people put his funny writing up there with that of Jerome K. Jerome and W. W. Jacobs. They also put his mystery stories up there with Conan Doyle, his political science fiction with H. G. Wells, and his supernatural stories with Algernon Blackwood. George Orwell said that What Might Have Been by Bramah had an effect on his book Nineteen Eighty-Four. Kai Lung and Max Carrados are characters that Bramah made up. Eric Ernest Brammah Smith was born in Manchester, England, in 1868. His middle name was spelled 'Brammah' instead of 'Bramah' on his birth certificate. He was the son of Charles Clement Smith and Susannah (Brammah) Smith. He quit Manchester Grammar School when he was 16 because he was near the bottom in every class. He learned how to be a farmer and then did it on his own. His father helped him with money. In a short time, he went from working in a workplace to being very rich.
