Honestly, both fiction and non fiction are okay but some fantasy elements would be nice. Anything from a Napoleon-esk person taking over the country to a rebelion against an oppressor.
Something like PowderMage but more polished and better though out? While a single man revolution like Red Rising, Hunger Games and Poppy War are okay I do prefer a more "realistic" approach to these things.
Tldr, a book about magical Napoleon taking the throne?
