First published in 1939, The Anglo-Saxon Tradition is a seminal work by Catlin that explores the profound influence of the Anglo-Saxon Tradition on uniting Europe. In this comprehensive book, Catlin identifies the distinguishing features of this Tradition, which include respect for personality, liberty, experiment, tolerance, accommodation, democracy, federalism, moralism, and public spirit. He emphasizes the importance of this Tradition in standing against contemporary totalitarian ideologies. The volume also outlines Catlin's vision for the confederation of Anglo-Saxony, which he sees as the central issue for civilisation: the conflict between the ideal of Dominion over Man and the ideal of Power over Things.

It offers a deep insight into Catlin's ideas and provides a valuable perspective on the power of tradition to shape societies. Through his analysis, Catlin demonstrates the enduring relevance of the Anglo-Saxon Tradition in addressing contemporary challenges and promoting a more harmonious and inclusive world.
