Top Ten Novels about Riots. (real article)

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

Clemens Meyer's debut novel "Als wir träumten" (As We Were Dreaming) from 2006 is about "a group of friends growing up and go off the rails in East Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall" (Wikipedia). Part of the story is soccer hooliganism which was - the novel works with flashbacks - a decidedly political issue in 'communist' East Germany.

Not a novel, but Bill Buford's Among The Thugs is stunning, about English
soccer hooligans.

*3. Against the Day by Thomas Pynchon

Pynchon’s novel is an anarchist’s bomb, gleefully exploding notions of plot
and character. The riots of the historical Ludlow massacre in Colorado,
where an iron company has paid for an attack on striking miners in 1914,
fuels a kaleidoscopic exploration of wonderful Pynchon obsessions:
authority and freedom, technology, sex and death.
