I'm reading A Flag For Sunrise by Robert Stone. It deals with a "fictitious" Central American country called Tecan. The Book was written in 1981 during the revolutionary movements in Central America. The book deals with the CIA, the revolutionaries, liberation theology and neo-nazis/soldiers of fortune. The book is considered a classic. Literary critic Harold Bloom lists that novel in his book The Western Canon.

I'm thinking also about the classic novel that inspired Lenin and his fellow revolutionaries which is called What Is To Be Done? by Nokolai Chernyshevsky
