Coup d'État: A Practical Handbook (edit title)

Shelfari edited the description of Coup d'État: A Practical Handbook Friday, August 14 2009.

• The coup is the most frequently attempted method of changing government, and the most successful. Coup d' État outlines the mechanism of the coup and analyzes the conditions--political, military, and social, that gives rise to it. In doing so, the book sheds much light on societies where power does indeed grow out of the barrel of a gun and the role of law is a concept little understood.
