Political fiction

After finishing the USA trilogy, with its political subplots, I found myself wanting to read more political fiction. I thought of rereading Steinbeck's In Dubious Battle, an old favorite, but decided to find something new, perhaps about the French Revolution or about the struggles in Ireland.

Researching the latter, I found Morgan Llywelyn's Irish century quintet, read samples, picked up the first for Kindle, 1916: a novel of the Irish rebellion, have started it -- and only 50 pages in I am a fan. If the long five-book story continues as engagingly as it begins, I am in for a real treat.
