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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956249047259,"sku":"2026100008421-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/7cf786a3-fb67-44bd-9794-e409bdec23d9.png?v=1783499239","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008421-secondhand-coup-detat-a-practical-handbook","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
