Political thrillers

[Cyclonus]

Can anyone recommend some good thrillers that deal with politics in some way? I'd like something that's really entertaining, but at the same time makes you think a bit.

Well, Robert Ludlum's books are kinda political, I guess. They've got corrupt politicians and all.

There are two really great ones:
The Bourne Identity
The Matarese Circle

Tom Clancy.

Vince Flynn's Transfer of Power was very good.
Brad Meltzer's The First Counsel is also pretty good.

Almost all of Clancy's books are good.

Thats just what comes to mind that I have read recently.
