Swastika Night

Dystopia by Katharine Burdekin

Blurb

Swastika Night is a futuristic novel by Katharine Burdekin, writing under the pseudonym Murray Constantine, first published in 1937. The book was a Left Book Club selection in 1940.
The novel is inspired by Adolf Hitler's claim that Nazism would create a "Thousand Year Reich".
The novel was forgotten for many years, until it was republished in the 1980s.
Literary historian Andy Croft has described it as "the most original of all the many anti-fascist dystopias of the late 1930s".
