It's like the book I read in middle school: link to what book it is.
Don't click the link, or read any further if you don't want the book's ending spoiled; it's a book for "young readers" though, so probably no one reading this comment will end up reading that book. A rich drug lord has a large family, of which many of the people want his inheritance. He dies, and at his funeral the wine is poisoned. All the adults drinking the wine die.
The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer
Thrilling dystopia novel :)

I know I don't have my plus but I feel everyone should of at least read this book once. The House of the Scorpion (http://www.amazon.com/The-House-Scorpion-Nancy-Farmer/dp/0689852231) by Nancy Farmer. I love this book because it was the first book that I actually sat down and read without being forced to and I got so into it time literally passed by and I hadn't noticed. It is about a young boy and his fight to stay alive after he discovers that he was not born but instead was grown to be havested from his older self, El Patron.
Given how popular shirts and posters like this or this or even this are, I think you may be underestimating the level of interest in revolutionary leaders.
For comparison purposes, I would recommend reading The House of the Scorpion though. From your book pitch, it sounds like it may touch on some similar themes.
