Coup d'Etat by Edward N Luttwak
Edward Luttwaks shocking 1968 handbook showed, step-by-step, how governments could be overthrown and inspired anti-coup precautions around the world. In addition to these instructions, his revised handbook offers a new way of looking at political powerone that considers the vulnerability of stable democracies after prolonged economic distress.
Additions bringing this work into the twenty-first century include Luttwak’s observations about how coup plotters in the age of the internet must now take control of more than the central television station to control public propaganda… It offers as much wisdom on the counter-coup as on the coup itself… It remains in print more than forty years after it was written and still commands salesThe reason may be that it is a good read: wry, observant and practical. -- Charles Glass * Times Literary Supplement *
