Here’s what the Wall St. Journal picked.
I’ll have to give this one some thought. (Edwin O’Connor’s “The Last Hurrah” has to be one. And, even though it’s not overtly political, I’d recommend Sinclair Lewis for “Elmer Gantry” and “It Can’t Happen Here.”)
What do you say?

1984 (given that it is the guidebook for the current administration)
Definitely “It Can’t Happen Here,” and also:
2. The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood
3. Devil’s Advocate, Taylor Caldwell
4. Advise & Consent, Alan Drury
5. All The King’s Men, Robert Penn Warren
U.S.A., John dos Passos
Babbitt, Sinclair Lewis
All the King’s Men, Warren
The Quiet American, Graham Greene
Animal Farm, Orwell
The entire Drury deries beginning with Advise and Consent.
How could they have overlooked 1984?
Maybe because it striekes too close to the present regime?
My choices, in no particular order:
1984, The Handmaid’s Tale, All the King’s Men, The Last Hurrah, and The Good Soldier Svejk.
Brave New World, Aldous Huxley
