A landmark work in political science, Coup D'état: A Practical Handbook presents a systematic and analytical guide to the art of seizing state power. Edward Luttwak argues, with cool precision and dark wit, that a coup d'état is not a spontaneous act of revolution but a calculated, methodical operation governed by identifiable rules and conditions. The book details the political, social, and military prerequisites for a successful takeover, instructing the reader on everything from neutralising security forces to controlling communications infrastructure. Written with the detached authority of a strategic analyst, it remains one of the most cited and controversial works on the mechanics of political power ever published.
