Plato's "Republic" is a very very old manuscript. It compares and contrasts the various types of government that exist in the world. Plato, in the guise of his teacher Socrates, also puts forth his opinion of the ideal human government. The part where he describes the necessary actions to control the military are the part which I think Orwell modeled his work after.
It's a very long read, and not something that one could just sit down and read after dinner. I read it for a philosophy class with all the discussion entailed therein.
